[s-cars] CAM SENSOR ERROR

Can anyone help please..... I have a 1995 S6 that I have been getting a
"check engine" light intermittently. The car does not run rough or in any
other way seem like anything is wrong except that the light is on.....till
you stop and shut off the engine. The car will crank but not start. After 4
or 5 hours of sitting the car will then start (like it has "cooled down" or
something has reset) It is leaving a "cam sensor code". My mechanic thinks
the cam sensor is either good or bad....not intermittent and tells me he is
hesitant to replace it because of the $395.00 price. On one occasion I was
driving and the check engine lite went on and I headed for home to park the
car for the 4 to 5 hour "rest period" and on the way home the lite went out.
When I got home the light was still out so I turned the engine off and tried
to immediately restart it and it fired right up. I am afraid to drive the car
anywhere for fear of being stranded for a 4 to 5 hour period.

Has anyone ever heard of such a weird problem and any suggestions???

Thanks,
