Default van wont stay running.

A vacuum leak can certainly contribute to "running rough" especially at idle but I'm not sure about "2 seconds then shut off" part. Is the SECURITY light in the I/P cluster lit or flashing with key on?

As for the trouble codes, how long has the CEL been on? I'm surprised that they are all over the place:

P0108 - MAP Sensor Circuit - High Input
P0144 - O2S Circuit-High Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 3)
P0155 - O2S Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2, Sensor 1)
P0303 - Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected

The SECURITY light in the I/P cluster is lit constantly with key on, is that it? Check the SECURITY fuse in the I/P fuse block and make sure there's battery voltage present on both sides of the fuse with the fuse in place. The fuse has probe holes for taking voltage measurements. If it checks out, you probably have a faulty Passlock module (not to be confused with the Passlock sensor on the ignition switch) or wiring to and from. Don't waste your time on trying to get it to relearn which only works when the SECURITY light flashes. Consider towing it in.
