Yes, the crank sensor and cam sensors are two different units that perform in a similar way to provide spark. The cam sensor is usually located near the distributor on the shaft. If you think it is at fault, scan for codes. Crank shaft position sensor is code P0320, and cam sensor failure is P0340. Check your coil too. But if it ran before the overhaul and tune up, they must have gotten something wrong while working on it. Not a part failure. It was an assembly mistake.
