Hi Juan,

I attached the test that needs to be run in order to properly diagnose this issue. I would not recommend just replacing the cam sensor because this can be a number of other things. Including the easiest of all is the oil. Have you changed the oil recently or missed an oil change?

The first attachment has the possible causes of this and then the rest are the test to limit this down.

Let me know what questions you have. Unfortunately, this is not one of those codes where is sure to be a sensor.
