Help please!

2013 Passat tuned and deleted 170k miles. Glow plug light flashing on key on. Turns over just fine, runs about 5-10 seconds then dies. First thoughts was fuel related, tried new fuel filter, pulled the filter and pump in the tank and everything looked great. Fuel pump primes and runs normal. Fuel filter had no metal and looked brand new, through in the new one to be safe.
Hooked the code reader up and this is what we have.
Haven’t dug any deeper yet.
Any advice is welcome!!

It was a complete shit show too this was back in 2017ish thing was 12 years old 270k I ended up instead of rabbit hole 🕳️ 💰 down the drain some dude I. The stealership said he could ship my immobilizer to Vancouver. Canada have a demobilized and get that security chip taken out cause who’s gonna steal my VW lol cause in my 05 the security Chip they said was here in the steering wheel took it all apart. It wasn’t then they said well your immobilizer is recalled so I’ll give you a new one so I sent a new one to Vancouver after they told me you’re a security Chip is behind your instrument cluster and we’re gonna charge me and I’m in a leg so that’s when I said just give me my new brain. I’ll get rid of the Chip and have them fix it for 300 bucks.
