Yes, the camshaft position sensor have been replaced.
When I first started to experience this behavior, I got error codes on intake air temp sensor (MAF) and camshaft position sensor. Replaced em both.
I've never gotten the MAF sensor error code again, but the camshaft position sensor have come back a few times.

So I've taken the car to a local workshop.
They claim it might be something with the timing chain. This week they're going to remove all covers and have a look at the chain and make sure it's the culprit.

To me it sounds weird. Since the car run fine and starts fine when it's warm. But I'm no mechanic.
Does these symptoms and a faulty timing chain make sense to anyone here?
