It could be possible but very improbable. You need to take it to a repair shop and have it put on a scanner and NOT a code reader, A scanner will direct you in the right direction for a proper repair.

What are the symptoms of a bad camkshaft position sensor?

A bad crankshaft sensor will cause a vehicle not to start. The sensor sends a pulse to the system so that the spark plugs fire at the precise moment. If the sensor is intermittent then sometimes the vehicle wont start for no apparent reason, or may turn off while driving. Not sure if the question is about camshaft sensors or crankshaft sensors. Some vehicles will run with the camshaft sensor faulty or unplugged. But it would illuminate the "Check Engine" light.
