Hey M.MOKARA@YAHOO.COM,

Have you done any tests to confirm a cam shaft sensor fault?

I would advise starting by checking for the engine management fault codes?

Here is a link below with a guide to check for codes:

Can I ask if the engine sounds normal when cranking over? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Here are the camshaft sensor replacement instructions in the diagrams below.
