Angry 2014 Honda Civic Limp Mode and died

1st low engine oil light, oil was fine, then had about 9 or 10 other errors popping up, from engine, power steering, ABS, TPS, Uphill assist, ect, stuff I didn’t know was on the car. A garage checked it and said it was “ Rocker arm oil pressure switch low circuit” showed me the sensor. Went to get on the interstate and it wouldn’t go above 30 mph or 3k rpm, so I’m guessing limp mode. Finally just shut off. I got it towed, the next day I had the sensor, I replaced it and still nothing. It will start up, run for 2 seconds and shut off. One mechanic said it was the VVT solenoid and he didn’t do them because they was in the motor, but a YouTube video shows it on the side “IF” that’s what it is. Never had any problems out of this car until this. Changed oil every 5k miles. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I take it in and dump a bunch of money into when it could be something simple

So it starts and stalls after two seconds. Is that where you are at?
If so, What does the theft light do with KOEO? good scan tool may be needed to see what it's doing.

yes, that’s where I’m at. Everything is normal as for the dash lights now. When it last ran all the errors flashed before it died. And the garage told me about the one sensor they thought was making all the rest go off. So I got it, and unhooked the battery, and installed it and hooked the battery back up and it cleared the errors but now I have to push the gas to get it to start and then it only runs for a couple seconds before dying

Turn the key on but do not start. KOEO (key on engine off)
What does the theft light do? Is it steady? What about when starting?
What happens if you start it with foot all the way on gas pedal? That's called a clear flood mode. WOT (wide open throttle)

I’m not at my car atm, it’s close to where the tow truck was. But I do know the only way I could start it was giving it full throttle gas and then it dies almost immediately
