Codes 24 and 55... Stuck at work right now..
So as the title states, my car has suddenly thrown a code 24 and 55.. I cleaned the throttle body on Friday, forgot to hook-up the coolant line underneath the throttle body itself.. car ran like CRAP all the way home due to coolant going into the plug sockets.. Dried out Friday night ran like a charm Saturday and Sunday. Fired it up this morning to come to work and it is missing like crazy at low RPM. Once it revs over 3500 or so, it seems to be fine.. It still has a little a little stutter but not nearly as bad. My question..
Do I change plugs/dry some more.. or do I change out the Knock sensor and Intake Temp sensor and go from there? That's $150 for something i'm not sure is the problem.. Idk if the codes are being thrown due to moisture, or if those are the real issues.. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Edit: I am currently 25 miles from home, at work, in Ohio, and it's 30 degrees outside... Is it ok to drive home?
EDIT: Here is a video...

Code 24 is the intake air temp sensor faulty , on the non turbo ge engine the intake air temp sensor is part of the air flow meter.
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the volume air flow meter and senses the intake air temperature. The
structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the engine coolant temp.
If the ECM detects the diagnostic trouble code “24”, it operates the fail safe function in which the intake air temperature
is assumed to be 20C (68F)
Code 55 is the knock sensor

Now my question is... Is one code throwing the other? or are they two different issues that need fixed? Is there a way to test the knock sensor to see if it's faulty, besides spending the $100+ on a part that may not be bad?

Code 55
Knock sensors are fitted one each to the front and rear of the left side of the cylinder block to detect engine
knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed,
which occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.
Open or short in No. 2 knock sensor circuit
No. 2 knock sensor (looseness)

Purpose of the driving pattern:
(a)
To simulate diagnostic trouble code detecting condition after diagnostic trouble code is recorded.
(b)
To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed confirming that diagnostic trouble
