check the coil packs resistance (in OHMS) from hot to ground...each to see if one has a reading of Zero that might be the bad coil pack...the coil packs may have not a good ground connection....check the 1/0 cable from battery to engine block...wirebrush it clean~

crank sensor and cam sensor are both delicate affairs as they depend on "field effect" .....basically one half a transistor...they can go bad and are delicate...still am wondering why they make them different from one another when they do the same job....weird~

tend to think these things would signal a Check Engine Light...flashing if critical....use a handheld trouble code reader to read...then RESET the codes~
