Check engine light/SES/MIL came on or has flashed

Go to Autozone its a free public service and have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on

Did you replace BOTH camshaft position sensor? There are two of these, one in each bank. a bad CPS will do what you described.
