Arg, stop crying and take it back to the shop!
I hate to be a d*ck but it's getting old, people spend all this effort trying to solve something that a professional could solve in a few minutes. A code reader would do much better than people randomly suggesting what you should check on your car.
If you're so worried, which I can tell you are since each sentence ends with "!", then TAKE IT BACK!

I would if you didn't already jack up the car and recheck all the vac. lines. I wish I could help more but I would have look at it myself.
Ya might want to bring it back to the dealer just to be safe.
Sorry I couldn't help.

My guess is also that some air hoses are connected back wrongly.
Sometimes that will trigger the malfunction light right away on start up or not show up until later after some driving.
There was few people suffering the same problem as you after some clutch work.
I wouldn't worry too much. Just take it back to dealer and they can probably spot the problem easily after reading off with the scan tool.
Don't worry.

since dealer told me it is knock sensor.. they asked me not to use low octane gas...it should be fine...
but when I started the car last night, the engine comes with the grind sound...!! and so do the whole trip... the sound is from under the TB... since my part (knock sensor) is gonna be there on Monday for repair... and it is Saturday now, should I still keep driving my car?
