cam shaft sensor

This thread has a little bit of info: Camshaft Position Sensor

The Haynes Manual has a good description of the CPS and instructions on how to remove the CPS synchronizer/shaft. Keep in mind that a special tool must be used during the installation of the replacement synchronizer assembly, otherwise you may run into timing problems.
