remove the alarm located in the cowl. That’s the most likely culprit for the battery drain
Change both Crank and Cam sensors (only replace them with Bosch)
99% that this corrects both issues.
Best part is that the sensors are relatively inexpensive and you’ll need a pulley for the wiper arms to get to the alarm.
Cheap fix.
You can get the wiper arms puller from Amazon or probably for less $$ at harbour freight
If you decide to go this route, let us know if that corrects both issues.
