Since it's a jobber part, it's most likely the problem.
There was a jobber camshaft position sensor in our '04 Neon when we bought it, and same as yours: it worked great for a year or so, and then the code showed up. I put a Mopar one in and haven't had a problem since.
I'd advise to go back to a Mopar part. There just is no room for aftermarket sloppy calibration when it comes to todays' fine-tuned computers.
When the OEM ones give issues just clean them with brake cleaner and they last a fairly long time.
The idle in my '01 Ram started to fluctuate a little, I cleaned it, and it's been good for over 200,000 miles.

I had a 99 Ram with a 360 in it. If I let the truck sit for a week or longer it would sometimes idle high for awhile until it warmed up or sometimes even longer. I would just spray out the throttle body and it would fix the problem for awhile. I really think it had something to do with the ethanol in the fuel gumming up. If I drove it daily, I never had a problem.

Pick up a couple good factory ones from Pick & Pull or whatever the recycling yards are called by your place.

While you are at it, get a spray can of Berrymans B12 and an old toothbrush and clean your throttle body. There will be a buildup of crud around the throttle plates, IAC motor seat and some other areas that cause funky idle issues.
