Exclamation HELP!!! Car cuts out at 2500 RPMS!!!!

Hey guys i am new here so bare with me, you guys are a great help.

anyway i have a 2005 pt cruiser limited turbo lite. i have replaced the spark plugs and wires about a month ago, car has 48000 miles on it. so when i drive the car hard after about a mile of just cruising the check engine light comes on, and then the car is limited to 2500 rpms. now i pulled over and check the code which comes out to be 340 cam shaft error. as soon as i clear the code the car runs wonder full again with no problems what so ever. this has been happening for a week now. it wont come on at all until u drive it hard. thanks anything will help, i am thinking the computer might need to be flash. and MAYBE it needs better spark plugs. i don't think its the cam shaft sensor because would the car not start!!!. thanks.

It still might be the sensor - starting to go and being temperature sensitive.
Also check the wiring to the sensor.

Here's where to find it:

Your in limp mode... It automatically does this to keep from blowing the motor.
