Engine Cuts Out at 3K ?

My son has a 2002 Dodge Intrepid. Yesterday I was out checking out his car,like a father does making sure all is good. I had it in park and stepped on the gas and the same thing happened. I drove the car and didn't go over 70 mph and the car ran fine. I wonder if it may be the same thing.

Yeah, I'm trying to go back in time. No, I get no thrill out of revving this 3.0, in my youth the LT1 in my Z28, the 396 RS/SS and even my 72 390 Ranger were a different story though. Obviously if I liked to rev this one, I would have known the thing wouldn't go past 3K in park before I put 130,000 on it.
Let me start from the begining. Got gas and pulled away from the pump. The motor started cutting out while I was pulling out of the lot onto a 60 mile per hour two lane highway. Thought the transmission was slipping at first, but when I pulled over, put it in park and revved it, it cut out the same as it was when trying to enter road in drive. So yes, it does this in both park and drive.
Search leads me to think it's the camshaft syncronizer ?

I drove a Ford 500 that had the same feature. It was a rental. It was slick and i wanted to give it some hell. I think even when it was burning out it wouldn't go above 3k until it got traction.
At first I thought this was going down the road and gunning it. If this was the case it would most likely be spark plug gap, for those that ended up here from the friendly search button,
