Motor Turns Over but Does Not Start 2007 V6 manual
2007 V6 manual. I usually drive it pretty mildly. Always ran great no issues. Decided to sell because I wasn't driving it much. Sat for a couple of months, so battery died. Replaced battery. During test drive with potential buyer, drove about 5 miles. Under hard acceleration, it suddenly cuts off. Restarts in limp-home mode. After a 1/2 mile cuts off. Would turn over strong, fuel pump kicks on, never starts. Had it towed home. Would still turn over, but not start. Next morning, starts, runs 10 mins, cuts off. Again, will turn over strong, no start. Later, starts, runs 5 mins, I was monitoring with obd scanner, good fuel pressure when it cut off. It sits, battery dies. Charged, replaced terminals, turns over strong, no start since.
Codes: p0320, p0481, p0607, p1000, p1235, p1489, p2105, p2107, p060a, u0300
Any ideas where to start.
These seem interesting to me:

Yes one code can cause another code to pop up. I wonder if some water got in by your computer on the passengers side. Pull that kick panel off and look around in there for moisture.
Update: Root cause was a damaged crank position sensor, caused by a bad crankshaft pulley. It split, and the metal portion of the pulley shifted backwards. Somehow, the belt was riding on the remaining rubberized center of the pulley which was still on the shaft. The belt cut grooves in the rubber, making it look like a double stacked pulley (see picture). The metal part of the pulley was grinding against the crankshaft position sensor, and wore a hole in it, which caused the intermittent shutoff and eventually prevented the car from starting at all. Had the pulley replaced yesterday. Thanks for the input.
