Hi, AussieX5,
bad cam shaft sensor (CSS) causes that the engine cannot start. Once the engine runs the signal from the CSS can be lost totally and the engine will not stop and runs smooth BUT next starts are then impossible with CSS signal lost. The rough engine run and engine stalling can cause bad crank shaft sensor. Be aware that not only the bad sensor can cause the fault code to appear. It can be just wiring harness problem and the sensor may be OK. Check all points for proper connection.
Find meaning of all OBD2 fault codes and use a common sense as well and that will help You find a root cause.
