Engine cutoff mid-drive and won't start

First post here, joined out of necessity after realizing MSF.org was gone...

Just now I was driving my car home from work, and it made a little bit of noise and cut off. I tried restarting the engine, but it was no good. When I checked my APv3, it gave the following codes: p0011, p0016, p0340. I tried looking on Google for information, and the closest thing I could find was a post from MSF which I could no longer access. Now I'm stuck on the side of the road on a cold night with few options. My mods list is as follows: CS SRI/TP, AT HPFP internals, CBE, CS OTS tune to match mods. 2010 MS3, 126k miles.
 
Intake valve timing cel, crankshaft sensor cel, and a camshaft position cel. You could get lucky and try cleaning your crankshaft position sensor or replacing it. Hopefully your vvt isn't borked.

Does it help if I also mention that the engine made some "bad sounds" on startup this afternoon, and proceeded to make some ticking sounds while driving?
 
Vvt shit itself. Take valve cover off, look for speed grooves above the chain. Vvt and chain time. Howto is posted here too.
