My corsica is running fine and is putting out a Check Engine light with the code corresponding with Camshaft Positioning Sensor. I have replaced the computer and had the firmware flashed and have replaced the sensor itself but after I reset the check engine light it comes back on within seconds with the same fail code.

check your pins as the computer was replaced and it may have bent a pin. Or the connection on the cam sensor is not making a good connection. Also check the grounds on the car for being dirty. There is a possibility if it was a cheap/poorly manufactured sensor that the ohms are to high and causing this as well.
