Yes you need the red with a green tracer and the black and light green wire right next to the red/green. With an ohm meter ohm out those wires with the key off. It should read 2210-2690 ohms when it's about 70 degrees.

the order of wires on my miata are red and green then red,then black and light green.so i hook it to the first and third wire.sorry for asking to much just have to make sure, thanks

Yes that is correct. Use that ohm test to make sure as according to my diagram for a 1993 the black/green is next to the red/green.

Customer replied 1016 days and 21 hours ago.

Exactly. Put the ohm meter on both those wires with the key off and they should read that measurement if the temp is about 70 degrees.
