Default Did I use too small of a guage of wire?

I exteded the TPS and EACV with 22 gauge wire we had laying around before thinking about it, and now that I do I wonder if the smaller gauge wire is going to cause too much resistance and throw off the reading of the sensors. I belive the normal gauge is 16? Its not all THAT much smaller, but it still is.

Well if it messed up after you added the wire...then why don't you just get the correct gauge and switch it.
Seems like an easy way to find out....
