P0340, P0341, Cam sensor code..

Hey all, i've had these codes turning on and off for the last few days, wondering what i should do about it.

says it could be cause by the sensor going out, timing out of whack, or misfires.

the car runs perfectly fine, but my aeroforce is showing up to 18 misfires here and there at idle. usually it shows no misfire but when it does its like 4. i'm not sure how many misfires deems a misfire problem. plugs were changed around 8000 miles ago, didn't gap them since they are the type you dont gap.

also i replaced my timing tensioner a while back but the code didn't pop up until now.

so is there a sequence to get rid of this code? it just kind of comes on and off here and there and i don't think replacing the sensor would solve the problem. any insight on this?

my car just spit up two MAF codes, a mis-fire, and the cam position sensor. Car is running slightly rough. Not a harsh idle. But while driving there are slight hesitations every now and then. Feels weird.

Both of these codes are popping up on my car... Only when I scan it with the aero force scanner... Car runs well , but sometimes it takes a bit longer than normal to start up

Build-up on the intake valves can cause that to happen. How many miles are on the car???

the build up on the valves is not typical on the lsj if it happens its rare its more of a direct injection problem
