Look for vacuum leaks. That'll cause your P0172, P0174 codes, and misfires as well. Bad coil boots will also cause misfires. The easiest way to find vacuum leaks is with a smoke machine. If you don't have access to one of those you're just gonna have to do it by close inspection and listening...

The CHT sensor is in the driver's side head, just under the intake manifold. You can remove the alternator to get to it if need be. It was plugged in when you put the intake back in place right ? There is no temp sensor in the crossover pipe.
You can unplug the ABS harness and inspect the plug...
