If you do have a CEL. Then do a diagnostics to see if its throwing any codes.
To retrieve codes, turn ignition on. DO NOT start engine.
Using a jumper wire or paper clip, connect terminals E1 and TE1 together either on
DLC1 or DLC2(diagnostics ports). Count number of flashes from Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL).
If MIL flashes 2 times every second, system is functioning
properly (no codes present). This is known as a normal condition. If a
diagnostic code is displayed, first group of flashes will indicate
first digit of a 2-digit diagnostic code. After a 1.5 second delay,
second group of flashes will indicate second digit of diagnostic code. (Example would 2 flashes pause then 4 flashes would be 24 AIT sensor signal.)
If more than one code is stored, a 2.5 second delay will
occur between diagnostic codes. After all diagnostic codes have been
displayed, a 4.5 second delay will occur and then codes will be
repeated until jumper wire connecting terminals E1 and TE1 is
disconnected. Diagnostic codes will display from smallest to largest
number.
Identify and record diagnostic trouble codes. After
trouble codes are retrieved, remove jumper wire to exit Normal Mode.

Opened up ECU and inspected, looked mint.
Also when I was tearing it apart I noticed my timing belt looked skinnier, then noticed all this debris under the cam gears looks like the belts been rubbing on something. Aso its pushed all the way towards the back of the gear. Anyone had this happen?

I have heard of that happening before, and I think the guy ended up replacing the timing belt tensioner and crank gear to resolve it.
If there are issues with the crank gear, it is quite possible that all your troubles are related to it, the star, and the crank sensor.
If the belt is flapping around in there as its getting chewed, it could strike the crank sensor and trash it.

is the debris shavings of rubber? When my timing belt went, a bearing had seized up causing the belt to be drug across the seized bearing. Rubber shavings everywhere.

I'm almost 100% sure it's one of the pipes from the intercooler. Just by inspecting or even trying to move the clamps won't justify the problem. Check the bottom pipes as well and i'd tighten every hose clamp again. It has to be. I think you are wasting too much time checking other things.

My Soarer randomly died on me and wouldn't start, similar to what you described in your original post. Turned out to be a vacuum hose that was cracked. I was convinced nothing was cracked but my shop looked for about an hour and found it. Double check its nothing to do with vacuum lines, or the IC piping. Like scfou said, I wasted a bunch of time checking other things when it was really quite simple.
Good luck.
Good luck.
