If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

P0135 is the oxygen sensor at the bottom of the manifold, before the catalyst.
Check for loose/broken connections (wishful thinking) then fit a replacement, then clear the codes.
The cam sensor might be dodgy, but usually they don't throw up a code anyway.
Fuel system fault is likely caused by the faulty oxygen sensor affecting the ability of the system to trim the fuel.
In summary, fix the oxygen sensor.
Then worry about the cam sensor, they are an easy cheap fix.
