possible camshaft sensor, reading the fault memories should point you in the right direction.

probably not it will only log a fault when it packs up and you were more than likely the first to experience that. Occaisionally they can start to pack up and not log a fault but that is rare.

changed lots of cam sensors.
complants are engine stalling, on later engines there are 2 sensors exhaust and inlet
