Re: Weird problem

Yes, the ECM on your car has a rev limiter that kicks in at 4000 rpm when the car isn't in gear. This keeps you from blwoing it up free revving it too hard. The cam sensor is what is causing your hesitation/ no start. When the cam sensor gets hot, the windings start to break down. The cam sensor no longer sends a signal to the ECM, so it cannot adjust timing advance correctly, causing the engine to hesitate and sometimes die.
