I bought it from auction, had these codes. I deleted all to see what stays and it was the p0113, even without the engine running. So, I thought it had to do with the wire, so I went and saw that it was disconnected. So, either someone disconnected it at auction, or maybe the car develops issues while driving if the sensor is connected? You ever seen drivability symptoms with the sensor being bad? For now, the code is gone after I connected it.

Not really, the air intake charge sensor should not affect the engine performance much. To me it looks like the car will go into limp mode with these codes because of the TPS throttle body and accelerator pedal position sensor issues. I would service the throttle body and replace the accelerator pedal position sensor and then clear the codes. Also, fix the wiring for the intake air temperature sensor.

Here is a guide to help you with the throttle body service:

Here is the location of the air intake sensor so we can be on the same page and how to change the accelerator pedal position sensor. Clear the codes when completed. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
