So now I'm wondering if it's just the sensors I ordered. They claim to be OEM for all 3, all at 40-45 bucks. Can it be confirmed of they are original or not?

For what is worth, being that you have tried a new sensor and numerous used ones with similar results, yes you could have a connector or wiring problem. I was looking at the circuit diagram and if you have an intermittent ECM Relay that could also cause the problem. Consider swapping it for troubleshooting with another relay in the same fuse block. The relay is located in the IPDM E/R Module, this sits behind the battery on the firewall. Reference service manual section EC, page 378. I recently experienced a similar event with my G, I have posted my problem in the Uh Oh thread. I just ordered a new sensor from rockauto.com.

Good luck:biggthumpup:

So in the end, all I ended up doing was going back to all the original sensors previously installed on the car.

My passenger side green plug for the cam sensor was super wobbly and would turn the car off if I touched it or if it had to much vibration. So I cut it off and replaced it, then I wouldn't randomly shut down anymore.

The driver side one was fine...

Then I put the original crank shaft sensor back on. This is what really fixed my "limp mode" issue. So basically I put the original one on and cleaned out a bunch of water from inside the plug (which I think was my original issue, check for water) and my car was good as usual.

No issues now except for some reason when my ac is on, my car jerks a little from time to time as If it wants to shut off. I feel like to fix that issue is to get completely new authentic cam sensors.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Wazz-upp, I appreciate all your help; however, went through all the diagnostics and didn't get anywhere. So I kinda parked the car for a few weeks and last week decided to take out the tranny hoping to find a cracked flywheel. I didn't find that, but after examining the flywheel against another flywheel I had, I noticed that the mounting surface compared to the signal plate was 1.2mm shorter than of the original meaning that the flywheel was pushed toward the engine basically 1/16th of an inch. This was enough for the car to run perfectly fine until I put a load on it and it would move over just a bit, but enough to get out of range of the crank sensor. This explained why all sensors behaved different. There is a little bit of wiggle room to mount the sensor either closer or further away from the engine but not enough to keep it in range under different loads. If you examine the sensor closely ( put a sharp metal object to the magnetic part ) you will notice that the actual magnet is only about 1/8 of an inch in the middle of the plastic sensor, therefore, would not take much to jump out of the range. I installed the new flywheel and not once did it stutter.

Hope this help someone who might have had or will have this issue. It would probably be just as possible to drill the mounting hole in the sensor just a bit to move it closer or further away from the engine depending on the circumstance..

Wazz-upp, again, I really appreciate the effort to go through this issue with me!!
