Default Bad hesitation, jumpy idle, CEL codes

So my car is hesitating BAD when accelerating. It's to the point that the car jumps and shakes. The idle is also really jumpy but only sometimes. I went and scanned the codes and here is what came up:

P0300 Random Misfire
P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor
P0111 Air Temperature Sensor

First thing I did was check for any vacuum leaks but I didn't find any. Next I checked the Air Temperature Sensor which actually was loose so I secured that (I'll scan again today to see if P0111 came back). Then I cleaned the MAF using MAF cleaner but it didn't help any. This all started after I changed the alternator but I'm certain everything is properly connected.

Any input would be greatly appreciated guys. Hope everyone is having a better weekend than I am

Default

you could try changing the plugs and wires, probably isn't the issue but when my car was misfiring and running real rough all i did was change the wires and plugs and the car ran great after that
