mate 2 things,
1) its an XE - they never work 100% nor will you ever stop fixing problems
2) i think you have answered your first "things to try" in your post.

Crank sensors can break down when they start to get warm and thats a sensor your engine wont run without. try unplugging the AFM and see if it drives ok like that.
If you can get it up to speed before it cuts out then watch the revs while its dying (leave it in gear as you slow down) and the rev counter should gradually go down like normal. if it shoots up and down or goes to 0 (basically reads wrong) then id be looking at the crank sensor

Shouldnt die without the AFM connected..... thats how i knew mine had had it. Wouldnt run with it connected but if i unplugged it things were good (except the EM light).
Drove it like that for a few months till I found a new AFM and it was fine after that

Is your header tank topped up? If not, do a compression test.
