Default Car starts and then shuts off immediatley

I started another thread yesterday (https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-now-what.html) regarding how I thought a wet battery compartment was responsible for my car's inability to start. After recharging the battery overnight it appears as if that is not the problem. The car starts up and turns over just fine, but then shuts off right away. This "problem" seemed to have come out of nowhere and just appeared the other day. Prior to this the car was running fine, although it did have a CEL that I was going to take care of sooner or later. Here are the codes: P0130, P0140, P0150, P1411. Does anyone think the two issues could be related? I'm probably going to have the car towed to my indy but was going to check here first to see if there are any obvious areas I can check.

Thx

I would check fuel system....I have exactly the same symptoms...mine was a ruptured fuel line (inside the tank/fuel pump)...for the third time. I would test fuel pressure.
P0130 is oxygen sensor ahead of TWC Bank 1
P0140 is oxygen sensor after TWC Bank 1
P0150 is Oxygen sensor ahead of TWC Bank 2

Causes of these faults are short/open circuits of faulty sensors or sensor heaters. My guess would be something disconnected.

P1411 is Secondary air injection system Bank 2
Possible fault cause
♦ Secondary air injection pump is not triggered
♦ Secondary air injection pump does not work
♦ Air supply lines restricted
♦ Electric change-over valve does not function
♦ Air change-over valve does not function
♦ Vacuum system leaks

Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it. It looks this might be beyond my DIY skills so it's time to get this bad boy on a flatbed lol.
