I get cam Sensor malfunction. Just replace cam sensor for same fault code. Drive 10 miles with A/C on makes it worse. Installed correct plugs, wires, and a new timing belt. It just started 10 days ago. Help

First best avatar ever! Lol what is the code number you are getting? I would make sure the timing belt is in good shape because it can jump time, here are the timing belt marks so you can check it and do a replacement if needed. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
