A new crank sensor means you have to remove the timing belt and redo the timing. The logic of replacing the crank sensor over replacing a map sensor doesnt check out to me. The labor of a new crank sensor being replaced is $1k easy in the Bay Area now. I wish I had that money to burn.

Just an update. According to my mechanic, I had a loose negative battery terminal which caused a bad ground which caused all sorts of electrical issues. It was in fact loose and you turn it freely with your hand with ease. He checked fuel, which turned out good and MAP sensor was reading properly. He said he drove the car for over 3 hours and it finally shut off on him. He changed the crank sensor but the problem still persists. He called me on the phone and asked if I noticed a small bucking /misfire while driving the car. I told him yes, that's what initially I felt when all this happened. He believed it could be a bad TPS sensor..As I told em this the car died on em. But this time he actually got a CEL and ironically it was for the TPS sensor.
that was yesterday. Haven't heard from him today.

Sensor was changed but problem still persists. Really stumped here. Hard to figure out what's wrong. The car doesn't stay dead long enough to properly diag what could be wrong with it.

checked for damaged wiring from rats and or bad grounds make sure the ground by the back of the engine to the intake manifold to firewall is connected this if this is missing it can cause all sorts of issues.
