Can an air pump cause a stuck solenoid and engine not to start?

Sooo on my way home from work my car decided to misfire and throw ten thousand codes (see attached image) seemed like fuel just stoped i popped started it it breathed to life for a second as sson as it was out of gear (shift or clutch) it died instantly i just recently replaced a failing fuel pump let it go for awhile put probably about 2k on the new pump and decided to do a fuel trim reset (because my fuel economy was like 6mpg) thought it would help by unplugging the battery yesterday finally got off to the side of the highway and tried to start it up it just cranks and the rpm gauge doesnt move like it normaly does and also doesnt sound like my pump is priming at all on top of it i just got an oil change recently and after the oil change my oil light kept randomly coming on but my oil level was fine. So here i sit on the side of the highway waiting for aaa. Does anyone have any input on what might be wrong?

Got home checked to see if pumps getting power got power tried starting it just for kicks turns but sound like its just spinning freely (not the usually sound of compression when normally starting) did some research might have read wrong but that first code is something about a solieniod and if its stuck or not reciving power engine doesnt get fuel...? Doesnt make since to me but okay probably read it wrong. I left the key in the on position and theres this buzzing noise coming from somewhere in the engine bay... not sure if its related... every time i crank flashing engine light and sometimes a beep. Probably going to look more into that solinoid if anyone has any info yo help thatd be great but the search continues i guess.
