I have a OBDII scanner, how do you think I am getting the codes?
I did not post the year and miles but this is the A4 B6 forum right?
BTW it is an 03 1.8TQ 106K.
Up until this point I have never had a code I could not trouble shoot and figure it out. I have not spent any excess money trying to fix this. The vac leaks I did fix need to be repaired anyway.
The issue is not the main reason I am considering trading it in. I said that because I have never owned an Audi that one thing after another goes out. It is like every time I fix something on this car something else goes out or breaks, and more than a few times it is a part that has been replaced not that long ago. Which a lot of times the part is under warranty but still me having to take the time to do the job a second time is a pain in the @$$.
Anyway I am not here to debate this with you, I am wanting to know if an aftermarket TPS sensor exist or do I have to buy a whole throttle body?
This has got to be the problem as I have tested/checked everything else on the car that could cause this series of codes with the symptoms it is having.

The P0171 indicates MAF sensor...
have you pulled the MAF sensor for a look-see?
Maybe clean it?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1055407.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1055407.phtml</a</li></ul>

At the time the MAF fixed the issue, the car has a K&N. I have not cleaned
it in a while but checked it and it looks good.
Once I replaced the MAF the idle car as it should. It is running worse now than when it went out.

The K&N's oil have a long history of causing problems for the MAF sensors...
Maybe replace the K&N with the OEM paper filter, clean the MAF sensor, and see if this resolves the issue.
I run the AFE Pro Dry filter. Its built like a K&N, but uses no oil-<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1098144.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1098144.phtml</a</li></ul>
