A faulty thermostat or possibly missing thermostat. The thermostat controls the amount of coolant flowing from the water pump through the engine and then to the radiator. If it sticks open it will not let the engine heat up to design temperatures.

Not likely. A broken Camshaft would cause a car to not run at all, unless maybe it had 2 camshafts, then it might barely run and run loudly then quit.
