Good morning,
Just to add to Alex's response, I attached a picture of the location of the cam sensor for you.
Check the harness carefully for any damage. In the old engines, there is a magnet on the cam gear that the sensor runs across and at times the magnet falls off and will set this code.
Also, if you have a worn timing chain, the cam and crank sensor are not lining up and this could be an indication of a worn timing chain.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
During cranking, the ignition module monitors the dual crank sensor sync signal. The sync signal is used to determine the correct cylinder pair to spark first. After the sync signal has been processed by the ignition module it sends a fuel control reference pulse to the PCM. When the PCM receives this pulse it will command all six injectors to open for a (priming) shot of fuel in all cylinders. After the priming, the injectors are left "OFF" for the next six fuel control reference pulses (two crankshaft revolutions) from the ignition module. This allows each cylinder a chance to use the fuel from the (priming) shot. During this waiting period, a cam pulse will have been received by the PCM. Now the PCM begins to operate the injectors sequentially, based on true camshaft position. However, if the cam signal is not present at start-up a code 41 will be set and the PCM will start sequential fuel delivery in any old random pattern. The engine has a 1 in 6 chance that fuel delivery is correct.
Code 41 sets when the following condition exists:
Cam sensor signal not received by by the PCM for five seconds while engine is running.
