Camshaft position dying max wont start

Well last for the last week or so ive been having trouble starting the max, like in the morning or after it gets cold. It would crank but not start until maybe like 2 min of trying it would finally start, well yesterday it just would not start dead, WTF. So i run some codes of the ECU and get 0101 and 0403 camshaft sensor and TPS sensor. After that i unplugged the sensors and tried again it started, but im scared to dirve it because i dont want it to crap out completly and have to tow it home. Where can i get those two sensors and some part numbers would be great. Anyone have this happen to them.

going threw your troubles too. i have to crank it and at the same time step on the gas slowly snd it will start but if i don't step on the gas while cranking it will just spin the starter and not crank up. i'm still diagnosing my car but the answer to your question is here

i called local dealers and the local dealers are like $20 higher than these guys .
also on that link check for crankshaft position sensor, it might be that too

Call Dan Tech at www.midwaypartsteam.com. Start with replacing the Camshaft sensor first... make sure you get the right one. I believe the one is you need is in the timing chain cover, right near the idler pully tensioner.
