im getting a CEL and car turns on with difficulty,
so i went to a mechanic and he said the CEL was do to camshaft sensors, but he said i had to change the 3 of them. and it would be 120 for him to do it plus parts.
ive been doing some reading here and some members just replaced one or so, i was wondering is the mechanic trying to get a bit more off me?

its an 03, 70k miles.
started yesterday cranks for about 1second turns on, sometimes it doesnt, i wait a few seconds and finally does about 2 tries but sometimes just first try. then it kind of stall when i was driving it like if it lost power and when it was park at iddle it would shake.
