The one in the driver side head is the temperature gauge sender, you don't need it if you don't care about the gauge working. The other one is the temperature sensor for the ECM. You need that one, or you'll never make it out of open loop.
Code 43 is a knock sensor error, I believe. It will be set if the ECM doesn't hear a knock at WOT while hot, or if knock is present for 5 seconds during normal operation, like would happen if the sensor was disconnected.

one more thing, if temperature sensor for the ECM wasnt hooked up. the one on the right side of the head, would that make it surge - loop?
