what a crappy night.
I was driving from the Berkeley Hills last night and as I was going down a hill, my engine stalled. So i put the car in N, start it again to no avail. So i had to cruise down the hill with no power steering/brakes 
and I pulled over. I had the car towed. I started it again at home, no start. Checked the timing belt - intact. I pulled codes, and I had a code 12 and 43. Now, when I try to crank the car, the starter runs endlessly unless I release the key. I can't get a damn value from the cam sensors and the TPS. What the heck is going on?

I turned the engine to TDC, all the marks are lining up. I think I found the kicker, I pulled the engine undercover off and found the wiring harness to the crankshaft sensor that provides the Ne signals is severed by the serpentine belt, I assume the dealer the PO took it to for a TB change forgot to put the harness back into its retaining clip. I hope this is my ticket home...
