My vehicle starts, then cut off immediately after starting it.

Good afternoon,

Sounds like you are loosing spark.

That can come from the ignition switch, PCM or the TIPM which is the fuse block.

With the key on, verify power to the positive side of the ignition coil.

There is a lot of corrosion on my battery, can that cause it to lose spark?

I would clean that up. It may or may not. When that happens you usually loose all power.
