About 3 weeks ago on my way home from work in stop-and-go traffic my car died. It still had full electric capabilities; the engine just quit. So I threw it in park and restarted it w/ no issue. I drove on home briefly thinking to myself, "That's gonna be a problem someday."..
A few days ago it happened for the second time, almost in the exact same spot on the interstate, while going home in stop-and-go traffic. My car, as before, still had full electric capabilities; the engine just quit. But this time it wouldn't turn back over. It would crank. If I turn the key all the way to the right it would keep cranking for about 8-10 times (even after I stop twisting the key) but it would not turn over. So I had it towed back to work. (I work at a bodyshop)
With my technical/mechanical ignorance I used a scanner and decided to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor. It would start but eventually die if left idling & immediately die at about 4000rpms if I gave it gas. I cleared the codes, started it again and it sounded and ran more smooth than I've ever felt it!! (I bought it at around 45,000 miles, it now has 88,000.)
After driving it around the parking lot I decided to try to take it home. I only got about 2 blocks away before it died and wouldn't turn over again.
So, now I'm not sure what to do.
I scanned it again and attached the printout for you to view.

I've seen threads about similar problems here, but they are old and don't make sense to me.
So I'm just starting this thread, from scratch, regarding my issues. Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse.
Thank you for taking the time to read and even more thanks if you respond with your wisdom/experience.
