It is not the cam sensor, it is the crank sensor.

Crank sensor is for spark and cam sensor is for injectors.
Replace your crank sensor and it will run just fine.
I have heard that AutoZone has them for $60.
Drivers side of engine, half way down at the bell housing.

Boy, did I turn that one around, sorry.

That is one of the biggest causes of failin crank sensors, might want to try tightening you v/c gaslet bolts a little bit, that will often stop the leak.
