The knock sensor is a ceramic crystal microphone. You can't check it with an ohmmeter. You can replace it, of course, but they aren't cheap and I think you will find it doesn't help a thing in your car to replace it.
Checking the temp sensor is a good idea, but best checked by observing the voltage at the ECU plug, not by physically accessing it under the manifold. There are some hints in the 7/9 FAQ to help shortcut the process, but the basic idea is to watch the voltage fall from its cold reading to fully warmed up. Here's a plot of the voltage as a function sensor resistance, along with a plot of resistance as a function of temperature. The graph is for LH2.4, but the sensor is monitored by the same current by the Rex and Regina computers.

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. Except the profanity. You don't take that back; you just keep adding to it.
