One near the spark plugs should be temp sensor for a gauge. Usually drivers side head

Looks like a knock sensor, from the way the connector looks, pull the plug and take a pick of the connector, temp sensor is almost always 2 wires on it.... as for the tubing....its hard to tell from the pics....but I'm guessing part of egr system or air injection pump.....cut it off and plug the holes, it won't hurt anything

Coolant Temp Sensor.....the sensor in the pic in the head by the plug.....being one wire, I'm pretty sure it goes to the ecm
