Default Car won't start/ bad idle

So I had tried to start my car after sitting for almost 3 months and it started fine for a few seconds than died so I tried starting it again and it would start and sputter for a few seconds than die so I tried starting fluid and got it to run on starting fluid and putting my hand over the air intake after I took the intake off but it would only run for a few seconds and sputter and die. So I replaced the fuel filter and had no difference. Than today I went to siphon the gas out of it and opened the gas cap and it as full of water (the drain in the bottom of the gas filler area was plugged) also inside after I took the gas cap off there was a little water in there also so I siphoned out all of the gas and added new also added a bottle of heet (fuel additive to get rid of moisture) and got it to start and run for a little longer but than it would just die. I tested the nipple on the fuel rail to see if my fuel pumps were ok and it definately squirted out pressurized gas so I'm ruling out the fuel pumps. My car has these codes p0175 p1111 p1336 p0112 p0102 p0172. This is the first time I have seen a check engine light since I bought it. Also it ran perfect for the last time I drove it.
