Thank you, Kimberly
Please bear with me while I put the information together and type my answer.
This may take a little time, but rest assured, I am on the case,
Just now checking for any related TSB's.

Kimberly do you happen to know what the code was that the inspection man gave for the cam sensor and you said NO check engine light ON .
With the check engine light is it on with the ignition switch ON and then go out when the engine starts?
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
