Question 97 3.0 130K miles, CEL, Codes P0340 & P0300

The van started the CEL a few weeks ago. Then began running pretty sick, like it's not getting enough fuel. I heard a clanking noise at a drive thru, not a pleasant thought. *When I go it about 2 years ago I replaced all the belts, hoses, plugs, etc.)
Codes read:
P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor A Bank 1 Circuit Malfunction
P0300 Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
From reading old posts, I learned the position sensor needs a special tool to replace. I can probably deal with that. But none of those posts also referred to the P0300 codes, so I was wondering if I had a more serious problem.
Should I go ahead and replace the sensor?
Any other thoughts or warnings?
