Need Help Understanding Fualt Codes 88 90q



Over the past few months i have noticed a drop in the cars power.
I finally ran the fault codes last night and I came up with 5 of them.  I 
understand some of them but i need help with some of the others.  Also if 
anyone else has pulled these codes, I'd like any input as well.  Here is 
what I read and a brief description according to the Bentley manuel. 

Engine Code:
2142: Knock Sensor - Defective Sensor or Wiring - I can't find anything 
about this in the Bentley.  If anyone knows where it is listed please 
help me.

Fuel Injection Codes:  
2132: No Data Being transmitted from fuel injection control unit to 
ignition control unit.  This is a CA only code.  I hope it is just a 
wiring problem.  If anyone has any better explanation of this, please 
help me here.

2341: Oxygen sensor control -Oxygen sensor control operating at rich or 
lean limit

2342: Oxygen Sensor - No signal from sensor-  I think I am just going to 
replace the sensor for these two.  Anyone have other ideas?

2123: Full Throttle Switch - I think this needs to be replaced, the car 
is 10 years old and i am almost positive it needs to be replaced.

If anyone has some insight to these PITAs, please lend me some advice.
Thanks
