I have a 97 dodtge avenger, runs great when running but shuts off and wot restart until it feels like it. I checked and found that there is no spark and only a few mvs to the coil. If I wait long enough it starts back up and runs fine. car does not overheat. check engine light comes on when this happens and code comes up for camshaft positioning sensor. does this sound the way a bad sensor would act or is something else causing this. any ideas would be a big help, thanks guys

Check and test both cam and crank sensors
