Im pretty sure it wont matter which way round the wires go as it only measures resistance on temp rise/fall

But it will read backwards if it's the wrong way around ?? As the wires go to 2 different pins at the ecu ?

I'm with him, i.e. it does not matter, as it's simply a thermistor (so not polarity conscious)
