I suppose it could be a sensor. Have you checked to see if it's throwing a trouble code?

As soon as I clicked on "Submit", I thought of something else.

Have you checked to ensure all of the sensor and other electrical connections are secure? Were the terminals clean when the connections were made? Was dielectric grease or other compatible waterproofing used?

Was the engine stalling? If not the cam position sensor is fine (its a good idea to keep one in your glove box though)
