The vehicle recently had cylinder head replaced. About a couple of monthls later the engine started to cut off in traffic (especially when stopped). It's suspected it might be a camshaft problem (according to the mechanic that examined it). Is there a way to test this? What would be the estimated repair costs if it is the camshaft?

WHY does he think the cam is bad? That is a very unusuall. What us happening? Has the check engine light come on? Is there a tapping sound or knocking sound coming from the engine?
