ok heres my deal. My car has a CEL. i logged it and it says bad 02 sensor, bad knock sensor, and bad water temp sensor. I replaced the 02 sensor, im getting new wires for my knock sensor(because they broke), and i have a thermostat housing off a 94 es, so i figure i can take the sensor out of it...correct me if im wrong.

Now, every morning i have to spray ether in my car to get it to start...is that due to the bad sensors? it also recently started to have idle surge, it was just when the car was moving and out of gear...but now it does it all the time. Im thinking bad tps.

almost forgot, i removed all emissions, and theirs 2 vacume lines on the thermostat housing..are they neccesary?

any help would be great, its to cold to be messing with my car at 6 in the morning.
