Thank you for reaching out to Car Genius. Looking over those codes and it seems like an in-depth repair and diagnosis is needed. Problems with the secondary air pump system can cause the stalling issues but the fix can be a number of things. I highly recommend having a shop well versed in these checking it out. It will ultimately save money in the long run knowing precisely what the fix is and that cost. Give Car Genius a call and we can help find the right shop in your area. That said, checking from home the first thing I would inspect for is a vacuum leak. One of the easiest methods for checking is a smoke test. Let me know if you have any further questions or would like to check out some certified shops in your area. Thank you for reaching out to Car Genius. -Austin
