Crap plugs, find NGK single electrode (or dual) platinum plugs. I would buy autolite copper plugs before Bosch plugs.

Don't mean to pry, but why are you looking for a cam sensor? 99.9% of the time you get any cam sensor fault codes the timing belt is to blame, not the sensor. Hall effect sensors almost never fail.

Nope, you fucked up the belt or one of the tensioners is shot. I mean you can replace the sensor if you want to, just don't expect it to fix anything.

Pull the covers and make sure the belt is tight, if it is, check the timing.
