have you replaced the cam sensor with brand new ones or second hand sensors?

Getting rid of the car is a bit extreme - this isn't likely to be a huge issue, especially if the light goes out and the car is still running fine.

It was a common problem on earlier (2001-2002) cars that this error would get reported at high revs, for no real reason. Get it to a specialist to have a look, I'm assuming it's out of warranty?

Excellent.So quite apart from it being a glitch, it's a proper feature!
