Default IAT Sensor

My civic was throwing cel 10. IAT. I replaced the sensor with another one from a b16a1. My car is tuned with Crome Pro (boostedb16) and there's a red wire running from the sensor to the ecu. There's another black wire running off also. I figured it was a ground so I tryed to ground it to a spot on the valve cover and a bracket that holds washer fluid I think. It never worked. Do I need to ground it to the body/frame ? Should that wire go somewhere else? How can I get rid of this code?

The colors on a factory obd1 harness should be red/yellow wire & a green wire....
You probably fried your iat sensor again

Buy a mutlimeter and make sure the wire doesn't have any current running through it before you go grounding anything..
