Any other parts to replace while I'm here?
1995 Audi 90 Quattro
codes that flashed
2111 engine speed sensor
2121 closed throttle position switch
2312 engine coolant temp sensor
2341 oxygen sensor control 1
Also need to do timing job ( tensioner, water pump and belt) and passenger cv joint.
Any parts I should replace while I'm at it? Just got this Audi off of a friend. 500 dollars plus had to pick it up. Total is about 850 so far. I want to keep it fresh. Any other advice. Thanks. By the way, just signed up, this is my first post.

clear the codes and try again, if you do start replacing those sensors, try to get bosch if possible.
for the TPS, you may want to check a junkyard or someone here from the forum that's willing to sell a spare one of theirs
i would recommend doing all the cam seals and crank seal while doing the t-belt. also thermostat and get the G12/13 VW/Audi coolant (usually cheaper at VW dealer)

Also, doesn't seem to have too many problems. Won't currently pass emissions but I imagine it's probably the O2 sensor. There is however a "lag and catch" going into second sometimes. Haven't looked into it yet just wondering if there are any common problems I should know about. I will try to search the forums here soon. Don't have too much time for that today though.

TPS is not hard to find, it's just expensive.
no area search unfortunately
they will usually give you a printout of what areas your car failed. but with the sensors that are currently inop of glitchy on your car, it will not pass as your fuel mixture is currently all over the place
"lag and catch" is it only in 2nd gear? does it feel like the clutch is slipping? it might be worth bleeding the brake and clutch system (they share the same reservar)

Time to do a compression test..Cams were out of time and it may have bent a valve. There are no marks on a V6 camshaft..you need the tools. About $20 at Amazon:
Best policy when doing a timing belts..at the end..once you have the cam tool off and you are sure everything is perfect..turn the engine over by hand with the spark plugs out (not with the starter) and feel if there are any tough spots..there should be NONE.
Once you have rotated the engine a few times by hand..then check the cam timing one more time with the tools. It should be perfect..if not..reset and do the same thing again..by hand.
