10 Codes after Changing Starter !

Weird thing happened. My starter died a week ago and when I got it push started my maxima triggered the CEL.(Happens everytime I get it push started) I replaced the starter and got the codes checked at Advanced Auto

UPDATED with codes:
0401- intake air temp sensor can anyone point me to where this sucker is?
0304-knock sensor (host code)

Ill go back tomorrow and write down all the codes.

Are any of those in the way of the starter? Im hoping i left something unplugged. The Car still runs and drives fine so I'm not too worried. I checked and couldn't see anything out of the usual. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Thanks

The photo shows a connector with a red wire. That is the intake air temperature sensor.

Thanks everybody. I knew I was missing something. On my car (97) its on the snorkel that feeds air into the airbox. The sensor had fallen and was just lying on the tranny.

Plugged everything back up and reset the CEL.

now to find another 5speed tranny. Damn input shaft bearing is acting up

Well its not effecting driveability. I still shift fine aside from sometimes having to force it into first or reverse.

But the usual whirring when clutch is dis-engaged. Dont know if I should fix it now, sell the car, or wait till it explodes one day
