Exclamation Misfire with Fuel Cut off Issue.. Need advice

So it Started about three weeks ago with one cylinder misfire, I didn't mind the occasional Misfire because i figured it was the coil and I was planning on replacing all of them this month anyways. So I let it continue until last Friday when the X decided to misfire on cylinder 1 and threw a code saying multiple misfire detected with fuel cutoff and a Camshaft Position Sensor - Timing Advanced and wouldn't go over 3-7 Mph. It was running so rough that It killed it self once i pulled into my driveway. So I have replaced all the coil packs, Injector leads, and spark plugs in hope to fix the problem. No Luck, So Next step from reading and researching the problem is Timing chain Tensioner, Injectors, or the Camshaft position sensor. I also tried reseting the computer by removing the Negative Terminal from the battery and letting it sit for about 10 mins. Still no luck.

Records indicate the Timing chain had been replaced at 80,000 miles. It is currently at 110,000 miles. So I don't know if it has to do with something with the timing chain or if it is a sensor...


Any help or guidance is appreciated.
