Car died while Idling, won't start now. Only code is p0365

Update #1
Update #2

I was running errands today and when I stopped the car and idled it for less than 5 min while I ran into a store to grab something it died completely and wouldn't start back up. My mom was in the passenger seat and said she might have seen something about temperature/overheat on the dash but isn't sure. Coolant level is good and temp was normal.

Only code it's throwing is p0365 - Camshaft Position Sensor "B" Circuit (Bank 1).

Which too my knowledge is the Camshaft sensor behind the pcv/cyl4. I swapped out the sensor, cleared code and still won't start, same code came back.

Could a bad starter cause this code? Or fried wiring harness/sensor wiring?

What else could cause? I'm stuck until Tuesday with Monday being Labor day. But I still want to try and figure this out if I can.

Any help would be great appreciated! TIA!

Take a pic of the whole code.

So it cranks, but doesn’t start?

Basically. Can hear the starter, doesn't turn over.

Put a socket on the crank hub and see if the engine is locked up if it’s not spinning it over.

Battery voltage good? Seems low for just starting to crank. How old is it?

I'll take my jumper/charger out there and try, gotta recharge it first. I believe I got it spring last year. Full size AGM battery.

No clicking or flashing of the dash like when I had batteries go out on my Mk6 or MK7

AGM can be really weird when they fail. My neighbors GLI did the same thing (died at a gas station). He feared the worst and it was just a battery.

This is why I avoid AGM batteries. One minute they’re fine then next you are stranded. They never really give any warning. Every once in a great while a car may throw low voltage codes, but for the most part it will be more like your situation.

Sounds like the battery tbh.

Attempted to jump, no change. And battery voltage prior to jump was 12.4

Just hearing a whirring/grinding noise (starter?), doesn't turn over when attempting to start.

But starter would not be the reason it stalled, look in the oil filter and housing that its not full of bearing material.

Yeah I'm going. Check, the "starter?" was more so to confirm I was attributing that noise to the right thing.

Pulled filter & housing nothing metallic or milky or out of the ordinary, oil is clean 3500-4000 mile old LiquiMoly

Also oil level is good. Dipstick was clean also.

You didn’t mention if this was a start/stop car. If it is, did it go into stop mode and not restart?
