Default BIG PROBLEM- Please Help (no acceleration)

I was driving out on a 35 mile trip, everything was normal this is one of the first trips with the new rebuilt transmission. The car seemed fine and temp stayed around 190* the whole ride over. about 24 miles into the trip i noticed a slight hesitation when i tried to pass another vehicle. A few miles later the car starts doing it again (studdering and hesitating after i step on the gas pedal)...i pull over and the idle falls straight down to 500rpms and struggles to keep running. It turns on but not really holding the idle.

Now heres the things
1-this car is new to me so im not sure if the fuel gauge is off and ive never had a car run out of gas on me so im not sure if this is even one of the symptoms lol it was showing almost empty but never the gas light
2. i heard noise coming from the fuel pump ever since i bought it (3 weeks ago) but dont know if this is a symptom of a fuel pump gone bad already.
and 3. I went to auto parts store and had some codes pull up
P0118, P0412, P0418, P0506

Any help is very appreciated guys im dying to have this car up and running ive had it on the road not even a week

could be a bad coolant temp sensor. And if your fuel pump is making noise then i would have a pressure test done. You can rent one from auto zone.

get a new temp sensor (cheap), when was the last time you replaced the fuel filter?
