Default camshaft position sensor low voltage

What could cause a camshaft position sensor low voltage code to be thrown?

The cam bolts backing out and the cam moving away from the pickup (sensor) has caused that code in more than one car that I have seen... Of course it could be a bad sensor or wiring, but unfortunately when I have seen it on non-swapped vehicles, it ended up being bolts.

it only started throwing the code along with hard starting after i did my long tube install this past weekend. It was starting just fine with no codes being thrown before the install.
but the very first time i go to start it, it takes like 10 seconds of cranking to start. and after it starts it acts just fine. as well as after it has warmed up it starts back up perfectly fine. could i have not connected something back up or broken a wire or a connection during the install?

Yeah it will do that if the PCM can't see the cam sensor or it is not reporting correctly. Tach work on the car? Sounds like you may have damaged some wiring, if so, that's better than the alternative.
