Default will a TPS error and no knock sensor affect performance?

my friend has a B16 in his CRX...but when he installed in his skunk2 IM a while back, he accidently broke the knock sensor and hasn't had time to replace it yet. and for some reason, one of the CEL codes is showing that there is an error on his TPS sensor...i was just wondering would these 2 things affect performance at all? i heard the knock sensor shouldn't do anything

bad sensor could make it run extremly rich.... i believe there all the same, little modification will allow you to swap them without buying the whole T/B. from the dealer


BTW i have a rear bumper in red for your 95. i will have to check to see if it's in good condition to sell if it is $40.00 plus shipping and its yours....
