Hi Jon ,
If the car is now starting with a good battery and then cuts out flagging both cam and crank sensor faults you really need to establish the number of times either faults stored . also when it cuts out how does it then restart / long cranking times ? . To be sure you really need to scope the cam and crank signals when it wont start to see which if any you are loosing . As for the map cooling fault these engines have the electronic controlled thermostat ( controlled via the DME ) and you will almost certainly find the thermostat has broken internally giving the fault code , you check this very easily by removing the thermostat you will probably find it in two parts not one . If this is the case simply replace it and clear the fault it should not have caused any further damage but bear in mind this should not affect the starting fault.
Regards
Steve
