Exclamation Eccentric shaft Sensor wiring

I need to know which wire goes where in the eccentric shaft sensor plug ASAP. Like many other Rx8 owners I developed a leak in my oil cooler line on my 06 GT MT. So I opted to replace the oiler cooler lines with the racing beat kit because it was much cheaper than going to mazda to get the job done. The issue is somewhere in the deconstruction the 2 wires got pulled out of the plug for the eccentric shaft sensor. There's 2 yellow wires, 1 with a black (or green, it was getting dark) stripe and 1 with a red stripe. I think I can take the plug apart to reattach the wires but I need to know where they go or if there is a difference. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

Edit: I also added a page from the shop manual

How difficult was the oil hose replacement?

It is much cheaper to go with Rb oil lines, but hoho it will be a TOTAL nightmare to install it with the engine still in the car.

Its doable. Just super duper ACME PITA thats all.

Thanx darkbrew, that was some very useful info and the install went well. RB supplies very good and detailed instructions. its really pretty easy to do in the car, you just have to pull a lot of stuff to get where you need to be to do the job. it is very time consuming, but much worth the effort and nothing that i would consider difficult or complicated. i do recomend 2 people and a pipe cutter tho.

thanx again for the info.
