Default BAS ESP Light + Soft Brakes + Weird Sounds

Hey all,

Happy Spring! I've been hibernating this entire, long New England winter and haven't been on the forum in months! Hope you all are well!

In getting the Crossfire out of storage, a couple issues have cropped up:

BAS ESP light is on and the car is throwing codes 1000, 1010, 1022, 1200, 1140 and 1141. The light comes on only once the pedal is pressed (and doesn't go away turning the wheel lock to lock, tire pressure is fine).

The brake pedal is also soft.. pumping it firms up the pedal which stays firm while depressed.. but then once I let off and press again, it goes back down farther than it should be.. I did drive the car and all was fine aside from the travel in the pedal (which, admittedly, is disconcerting enough)...

Lastly, and maybe unrelated: there is a distinct gurgling sound coming from the engine... in the course of driving the car to the mechanic to throw it on a lift, the sound went away.. now a couple weeks later, starting the car again for the first time, the sound is back...


SO, what are the chances all 3 issues are related? I've been searching the forum and haven't found that combination of codes. Could it just be a sensor? Or is the whole master cylinder shot possibly? I assumed the gurgling sound was the water pump or something but is there anything brake related that would make a churning liquid sound?
