HOLY CRAP! 3 CEL 2 problems! help me with 1. knock sensor, 2.Engine Coolant Temperat

so yeap today i was happily driving my maxima as usual and my gay CEL came out. so i was like alrite wtf is goin on? here's what i got:

1. 0304: knock sensor
2. 0908: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
3. 0103: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

so is 0908 and 0103 suppose to be the same thing? if so, how do i fix my Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor?

for knock sensor, i know i just replace them no problem. just curious, how long does a knock sensor usually last for?

btw if you were too lazy to read that thread, i realized many people on the org have starting problem recently, here's one possibility that may be the cause of the problem:

It,s job is to take coolant readings and tell computer therefor adjusting fuel mixtures.
so yea there you have it.
