Okay so i just bought a 2003 Jetta 1.8T about 4 months ago and itz running very weird..The car has a huge loss of power a 1989 Corolla can beat me no joke...bad pick up bad power..it doesn't feel like 180HP...instead feels like 50HP...i got a check engine light for a cam sensor circuit malfunction and i was wondering if anyone would know if that could b a reason for the huge power loss..Thanks i appreciate it

That could do it. The cam position sensor is part of the system for computing the air/fuel ratio and timing.

Coilpacks are most likely, reset the ecu to get rid of the code so the ecu stops protecting the engine
