Most likely it is a sensor issue but here is the testing for this just to prove it out if you want to do that.

I am attaching the info below on this. Please run through this and let us know if you have other questions and how you make out. Thanks

Unfortunately, it is not the cam sensor, a friend of mine who is a mechanic believes it is the timing chain.

That could be but let's run through the testing just to be sure. Unfortunately there is no way to know for sure what this could be until we do that unless there is other info that would lead him to think that.

The most common cause of this code is the sensor but again, this is not always the cause so running the test is the only way to know. Thanks
