I am in need of some help. I recently purchased a 2007 Continental Flying Spur that I am trying to get running. After charging the batteries and going through the fuses the car has power and cranks for a few seconds, both with the key and the push to start, but stops abruptly before it actually starts. Doesn’t seem like a mechanical issue with the engine. No immobilizer warning on the dash. It will crank from the trunk relay for as long as I hold it, but still no start. I’m not really sure what direction to go from here, so any help would be appreciated
As to your issue, please see engine 2 fault code P0322, whereas you have a "Crankshaft Position Sensor" fault, as in "no signal", please check the 3 pin connector at the bottom of the transmission where it meets the engine flywheel as pictured below.
Replace the CPS if needed, post a picture of it as it stands now, possibly broken, disconnected or failed.
Also, as per your video, the warning is right there in the driver's information screen, your "House Battery" left side facing the trunk is likely low, or in need of replacement, it may have taken a charge, but it is not healthy, unless you tell me it is new, recently replaced, then we will look deeper.

The crankshaft position sensor appears to be brand new. Do you have a pinout for this plug so I can probe the sensor wire and verify voltage there?
Also the video I had sent was prior to having charged the batteries, they are reading 12.9v and are dated 7/25. I am willing to replace them if you think that could be causing my issues though.
@Quinton27 ,
Your picture looks a little odd to me, and if your 2007 FS, has the same setup as I have pictured from my 2005 GT and 2011 GT Supersports engine transmission setup, then your CPS is in the wrong hole, as I have the engine block, the spacer, then the transmission, and the CPS is in the hole closest to the engine/towards the front, so, you may have the incorrect sensor in the incorrect hole, please remove the sensor and look in either hole for the slotted ring on the flywheel, the sensor should line up with the slots in the ring.
I will post the wiring diagram in the morning, but, please pull the sensor to confirm correct position.
Also, who replaced the sensor ?
I’ve verified that the sensor is in the front hole, closest to the engine. I believe the previous owner replaced the sensor while attempting to fix the fault code. I believe that pin 3 is ground, 2 is 5v supply, and 1 is my signal wire. I’m showing a constant 5v from the signal wire even when the sensor is against metal. I would imagine where the sensor is new this is not likely the cause. Is there some sort of wiring issue that could cause my sensor not to drop the voltage as it should?
What was the outcome of verifying the correct placement of the sensor ?
As I asked you to do the following, "please remove the sensor and look in either hole for the slotted ring on the flywheel, the sensor should line up with the slots in the ring.".
