Default Think I'm missing something

So I've got a '99 V6 5 speed 4x4. Recently I've had a lot of problems with it. It was starting rough, had no power until it warmed up, stalling when I brake. changed out the spark plugs and had to put it in the shop for 2 of them because somehow the hood on thecontracted. Mechanic changed the camshaft sensor because it was throwing a code saying it was that or the crank shaft sensor and that he drove it and it was fine. I pick it up and take it out, got a mile and a half down the road, engine heated up, and it stalled as I braked for a corner. Ran thenew code light, said crankshaft sensor so I changed that. The day after I'm driving and twice it started bucking on me. Stops bucking if I either pull over and wait a minute before going, or sometimes I can pop it in neutral and rev the engine excessively while driving. Code is saying now it's the pickup coil.
Are these problems generally related to each other? Thinking I'm missing something here.

What code are you showing?

The pickup coil is the camshaft position sensor. It could be bad.
