I have the error codes of:
P0015, P1339, P0300, P0301, P0303, P0302, P0304.

My question is:
Can a faulty camshaft sensor cause the cylinder misfires? I understand P0015 and P1339 are related, but what about the cylinders?

I am at my wits in with the car and if replacing the camshaft sensor will resolve the misfires that would be great. My car is fifty miles from my mechanic and I do not have the money for a tow that distance, but I can afford the camshaft sensor.

Yes a bad cam sensor could cause misfires. P1339 is a circuit related code, check the wiring at and to the cam sensor. Corrosion or damage will set that code as well as a bad sensor.

Fantastic! I will check it out for obvious wiring issues and then replace it if need be. Thanks for the information and for getting back to me so quickly!
