My 99 Outback started running poorly and threw a code for the "Crankshaft Position Sensor". I bought a new sensor, unbolted the old sensor and moved it to remove the wiring plug and both the wires came off the plug. I went to the "U Pull It" yard and cut off a sensor plug but the wires are a different color than the wiring on my car. My car has a Tan and black wire going to the crank position sensor. I need to know which wire goes to which terminal on the sensor.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks for your tim,
Jerry...

There lies the problem....once I removed the sensor from the engine, I moved the sensor to allow me to unplug the plug from the sensor and the wires (both) broke off flush with the terminal in the plug, leaving no wire with insulation on the removable side of the plug. I have no idea which wire came off which terminal.
