Looks like the hall sensor or the plug is the culprit.

 

Here is a link to the discussion from a while back:

Try jumping the wires around the connector before you replace the sensor. Sometimes it's the plug, sometimes it's the sensor.

 

Let us know what you find.

Cam position sensor, normally the plugs have just fallen apart


The sensor from porsche is about $200,


The plug and socket can be found on the bay normally called 3 pin junior timer plugs


My sensor had fallen to bits and been mashed by the cam pulley, I rebuilt mine using a Siemens HZ101 hall sensor


Think it cost me about $20


The big thing is the cam cover has to come off to get one of the sensor bolts out, which means new gaskets and bolt seals and spark plug seals

Actually, to be mathematically correct,  I think that it is an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite amount of paper and an infinite amount of time .....  Hey, wait. That is the same as here!!!

Sorry, I should have quoted Jay, I was poking fun at his "taking a bow" for suggesting the Hall sensor earlier. 

 

Your technical diagnosis process was spot on, as usual.
