Is there a code that you are getting that is pointing you to replace the cam sensor? Clearly I assume it is the P0341 and if it is, I attached the testing below for this code. We need to run through this and find out what the issue is.

Here is a guide that will help with this type of testing:

Let's run through this testing and that will tell us what the issue is. Let us know if you have questions. Thanks
