I have temporarily fixed some of the engine bay wiring but I need to let in fresh wires and connectors to some sensors. (chewed by a rabbit, its a rescue car and a rabbit was living on the intake manifold and has chewed lots of wires the ones below still need replacing).

I have no idea what amp rating wire is required, can anyone advise ? Don't want to use too high rated wire as that opens up a whole new can of worms causing new issues.

Its for the Blue Temp Sensor, Brown Sensor and the Sensor at the rear of the engine near the Distributor.

Most sensor wires are 0.5mm
The distributor is on the front of the engine though, unless its an M10 turd?
