Nice detective work Yellow! It's good to know your car like this, and fix/prevent this from happening again. Thanks for the detailed pictures.

1,000 rpm - releasing the clutch
This is great! my car's throwing a P0335 and I'm hoping to find it out there. The photos are so detailed that I don't know where to look initially! Maybe I should remove the airbox and crossover tube first...

Oh, sorry. All photos are of the crank pulley/ water pump pully area. The last photo (with the red circle) is a closeup of the water pump pulley on the left and the bendable metal clip holding the sensor wiring on the right.
The problem was that the owner had replaced the crank sensor before but failed to tuck the wiring into that clip thus leaving it resting on the pulley. Over time, the pulley ate away the wire insulation, leaving the bare copper wiring exposed.
When the bare wiring contacted the metal pulley, the sensor would ground and fail, leaving the car either sputtering after running fine, die on the road or not start at all.
All of this is best viewed with the intake snorkel removed of course.

1,000 rpm - releasing the clutch
Found mine...the wires looked fine but the sensor was covered in oil, so it was hard to even find! I cleaned off the oil but didn't remove the sensor. Lets see what happens...
