I had this problem on a 1997. A dealer replace two modules for $1400 and after 30miles I had the same problem. 3 injectors would not fire, although not always the same three. I had no power. The ABS light and airbag lights came on. The mpg/oil life control panel would dim and flash. The cam sensor was changed for $200 and the car runs like new. Oh yeah, as a word about garbage mechanics with a GM certified degree, the GM dealer is Tri County Chevrolet/Pontiac in Royston, GA.

Is there a code for a camshaft position sensor on a 1997 Ford Taurus 3.0 v6?
If the sensor is bad I believe a check engine code will be stored. But if the distributor is chirping there will not be a code. You will hear a chirping sound like a loose belt coming from the drivers side of the engine near the air intake. The camshaft sensor and it's distributor are under the intake, where the ignition distributor used to be. If it is chirping you should replace it (the dist. the sensor is ok) or have it replaced. The gear that drives it also drives the oil pump. If it fails you loose the oil pump as well and there goes your engine.

What causes valves on a Chevy smallblock to come loose making a tapping noise?
Mosy likely you have a camshaft that is going flat. When a piston goes up and down it pushes a rod that sits on the camshaft lobe or the high part of a cam shaft. This in turn pushes the valves. The motor spins turning the crankshaft which in turn spins the camshaft. When you have one or two valves that keep getting loose usually you have a camshaft that is going flat. This is caused by many different things. Poor installation. Not enough cam lube to keep it slipping in the valley. If one component resists even the slightest and stops during rotation this causes a lobe on the cam shaft to go flat.
