Default Engine code P 016

Getting check engine light after got the other codes cleared and the leak fixed on purge cannister. This code reads P 016 which is CamShaft Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent. ?????? Is my truck ready to blow or what? Seems to spit and sputter when at idle ad will die occassionally! Beginning to wonder if my truck is gonna become a roadside bomb and need to sell to a Iraqi roadside bomber for lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ cause I cant afford to spend anymore on it! Just had the 4th brake job, new tires. 78000 miles and one owner! Been towed twice when purchased new, throttle body cable came un-hooked and left me stranded twice! The brakes have always been a problem that eats up tires esp left front. This will be my last Dodge if the Chevy dealer will take it on a trade! Brother said was married to it unless I traded for another Dodge! Im ready to divorce it and take my lose! I still baby the gas hog and she looks like she did when I bought it new! Added chrome nerf bars, bed rails, bed cover, bug shield and gets oil change every 3000 miles with filter change! Even the bright silver paint hasnt started peeling which is surprising. Looks-wise she is beautiful but think she is fixin to blow!
