Misfiring and other serious issues

When under acceleration, especially if I have to get on it a little, I can hear popping noises and occasionally the engine feels as though it is seizing up. This only lasts for a second or two after I let off of the accelerator. At that point it will go back to operating somewhat normally. If I just kind of feather the throttle and baby it, I do not seem to have as much trouble. I have scanned it and got a p1309, which is a camshaft position sensor code. I am not really sure that is the issue considering I replaced the CPS about 3,500 miles ago and have only recently developed this issue. I have also cleaned the throttle body and O2 sensors, since initially thought it might be a lack of air flow. It also pulled a p0171 and p0174. But again no difference. At this point, I am seriously considering using a match to fix the darn thing, but unfortunately, it is my daily driver.
Any help or ideas would be sincerely appreciated.
