Driving in the vehicle, the vehicle stalled out. Put the vehicle in park started the car put it in drive gave it gas stalled out towed it home has not started, been trying to crank over and fire but no. replaced fuel pump. Still having issues so I ran a code checker on it, it came up as throttle, cam and crankshaft positioning sensors I know there's only one of them bad it's kind of curious on if you could help out any way or form. Or what do u think about the timing?
Thanks

Yep, I was going to ask if the engine sounds funny while cranking over, when these codes come up it can mean the engine is out of time due to a timing chain/system issue. If you upload a short video of the engine cranking, I can tell for sure what's going on. Also, you can do a compression test which will tell you as well.

Here is a video to help you check for spark:
