C320 issues - car starts then dies

Car intermittently stalled and then would start up and run for weeks. Car then stalled and would not start at all. We towed it to our home and replaced the air mass filter - car would not start. Replaced the crank position sensor. Car will start then stall in a few seconds. Replaced the cam sensor. Car will start and then stall again. I don't know what to do next. Do I need to clear the codes?
Thanks!

A bad MAF sensor will not prevent starting or running (though it may run poorly). You can unplug it and try starting to verify. You said you replaced the CPS. Where did you get the new one? If from eBay or Amazon, it may be fake crap.

There is also one part that is usually forgotten and can lead to failure to start. But i'm not sure if it can be the reason for C320.
In my C220 the O rings lost its elasticity at some fuel line connections and that lead to the car refusing to start. This was a year ago or so and i can't recall exactly where the mechanic replaced these O rings but i have some pictures from that time which might help.
