Default 2004 ecu issue

Just got car back from garage after 2200$ worth of work. New top end, altenator, power steering pump and camshaft position sensor. Drove 5 miles and check engine light came on and engine lost power. At 2500 rpm it feels like hitting rev limiter. Please help me before I shoot this car.

What's the code for? I would take it back to the shop that worked on it, too.

Default Ecu help, please before I shoot this car

After check engine light came on I limped the car to auto zone and used their obd to pull codes. It said camshaft position sensor intermittent. Problem is the sensor is brand new. That was the last repair the shop did and he said basically there is nothing else he can do and told me to take it to dealership. I cringe at that thought. I'm totally at a loss. Anyone want a civic cheap? Lol

I cranked the car this weekend and it purred like a kitten. Let it idle for 30-45 minutes. No check engine light, no problems. Then I drove it for about 4 miles and light came on and went into limp mode. Seems to only have issue when load is applied to engine. When it was idling I would raise rpms occasionally to 3500-4000 and no troubles.
