I am having to replace the crank sensor plug on the car listed above and I don’t have the end of the plug. There is a dark blue or green wire and what looks to be a light green wire. Can anyone tell me which side of the plug these go on?

Which engine do you have, those colors don't match the service info for a cam sensor. The book shows gray with red and dark blue with orange. The wires for the crank sensor might match those as that one would have the shield that looks like it's on the left in the picture.
You should be able to get a replacement pigtail and then just follow the colors in the second image.

You are correct. I am only helping him with connecting the wires and am no mechanic. It does have the shield you mentioned and looks like the picture of the plug you attached. I assumed the db and gy listed are dark blue and green/yellow? Thank you so much for your help.
