Autozone has some repair info online. I bought a full factory service manual on CD ROM from Ebay for about $15. That's the only way to go, in my opinion. That way, you'll always have the info you need.
Good Luck and God Bless

At least an intake gasket, depending on the mileage id get a throttle body gasket while ur at it. There not that difficult to replace just time consuming but in my opinion theres no better way to learn than by doing it yourself! you shouldnt need any wires unless you find some bad ones once you pull the intake. Good luck!

Get some automotive silicone, after you install the new sensors run a bead of silicone around the sensors rubber gasket to build a dam around the sensor so water won't run in.
