Question Re: Crankshaft Position Sensor

HELP please; Mr. Wizard(s): Dreaded stalling (twice a few days ago) & now cranks about 5 seconds even with key released, with no start. Note; when cranking stops, key still on, humming coming from RCM box by battery, then a few clicking sounds. (wife's daily driver since new, '05 Roadster NA, need to fix asap myself if possible)
Recent history, please bear with me; first stall, thought out of gas (it was quite low) added some, started up & got her home. Stalled again next day, changed Crank. P.S., got her home. Used Napa; only one I could get on short notice. (Bosch ordered from Amazon)
Next day; added some solder on the 3 suspect RCM joints (THANKS Tighed1 & everyone else!!) I drove it 45 miles with a few stops along the way, no problems. BUT:
Today; cranks, no start; with symptoms stated above. No C.E.L. at any time, no code reader used yet.
Reviewing much info here; now thinking fuel pump relay. Maybe original CPS was still ok. Going to check now; spray some carb cleaner down intake & see if she'll fire.
Tighed1: if you are here, can I send you the RCM, if necessary? Read something about possible loaner, is that still available? I'll be back.
