Great. Now that the plug is all wired, and the harness neatly tied in I learn I need a 5V lead from the AQM plug pin?  It’s a well kept secret; not a clue in the manual.  DOWN WITH SOLDER SOCKET PLUGS! 
 
I agree about the solder plugs, but you don't have to open up the plug again.  In the bundle outside the EM-2 plug, splice into the wires that go to the liquid temps, and also a 5V wire.  You'll need a wire from there to ground for one end of the resistors also, but it can all be done right there at the harness.  Imagine how I know this :-)
 

Good info, but my MAP account is as empty as yours.

 
Then here's how you can repay me :-)  When you hook this up, you could do me a huge favor, and test something for me.  I only have one of the 3 wire temp sensors, which is the OAT, so I used that 5V wire for both aux liquid temps as well.  Now that I find my OAT being a bit off, I wondered if I was causing an error by tying into the 5V line for two other sensors.  If you get to the point of hooking this up to one of your existing air temp 5V sources, it would be real interesting to know if your temp reading changes when you connect the liquid sensor circuit.  I really doubt this is the problem, but had already made a mental note to check it if I didn't come up with some other calibration solution eventually.
 
Cheers,
Rusty (need better inlet)
