I would think that the sensor needs replaced. Do you have any codes/lights set?

Hey THATSUITSU

I would replace the camshaft angle sensor here is a guide to help you get the problem fixed. I would also replace the crankshaft angle sensor becasue they work together.

and

Please let me know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Best, Ken
