Idle/Check Engine

Ok, So I am getting ECU code 14 (IACV). As I've taken it in and out to clean it, I've unplugged the wires to it, and somehow or another also unplugged a wire next to it off of a vacuum line, and they are the exact same, and not sure which one goes where. One is grey, one is white, put both fit on either connection. And since I have been having idle trouble for a long time now I'm not sure how long ago i made the mistaken wire swap. So any help would be great.

Does the white one go to the IACV or to the vacuum lines?

Thanks

Re: Idle/Check Engine

I have swapped them around, and messed with the idle. The problem is that I messed with the idle before I realized that I might have swapped them on accident. I'm hoping someone will will go look at the plug on their IACV and tell me what color it is. white or grey?
