Had a similar issue after a clutch replacement. For mine, replacing the crank position sensor at the junction of the engine and transmission resolved the issue. Never got a code or CEL, my shop found signal problem with a scope. Been over two years and problem has not re-occured.

 

I read somewhere on here that you have to sand away the surfaces between the tranny and engine to make sure the ground between them is solid. It looks like you may have that issue now.

Quick fix? Install a solid battery cable between the tranny housing and any part of the motor.

Yea ive replaced the both crank front and back cam sensors didnt help maf but imma try a ground thing tonight when it cools down its like 96 degrees right now plus just got home from driving it lol

 

Dont waste you time with adding a ground unless you ground at least 1 directly to the frame. Others help yes but nothing beats a direct frame ground especially for audio
