remove your cam sensor look to see if the magnet is still on the cam gear if it is missing you need to replase it.
I worked for buick and I did a lot of them.

You will have to remove the sensor and with a mirror look into the hole where the sensor was and rotate the crank byhand and inspect the cam gear as it rotates there is a hole where a magnet in a black plastic clip is push into a hole on the cam gear, The magnets come loose and get chewed up by the moving part. so you will see just the hole in the cam gear or the plastic housing sometimes will still be there but the magnet is gone.
if that is it, you will have to remove the cam gear to replace the magnet.
A little bit of a big job but not to bad.
