Cam and crank sensor issue on cat motor

Just a little update. didnt get to the point of ordering scope. What i did do is remove the crank sensor and look up in the block at the crank gear with a flash light and kept going up in the truck a million times to bump motor. Didnt see anything out of ordenary. So next step was to look at the new sensor. What i did find was a very fine piece of little strand of metal. very tiny that look like a piece of a small wire wheel magnetically held onto the sensor. So i removed that and blow the sensr with some combressed air and cleaned as best i could. There is a little tiny shallow hole in the center of the sensor. Kinda hard to get any metal out of there if there is any unless you can demagnetize it. but anyhow, the small piece of metal must have gotten there from me setting it down on my shop table. put the sensor back in and the truck started normal. so i tried several more starts. on ocassion, it does a very quick miss but nothing like what it was doing. when i repaired half of the crank and cam sensor harness, i did not twist the wires and im reading the cat has them twisted for a reason. Do i redo my work and twist the wires to fine tune this thing and get rid of the slight miss on occasional starts? Also, would that tiny hair sized thickness piece of metal cause havoc on a sensor like that? thanks for your time. give me advise here

 

Ok I would like to read up on it. Thanks brotha

 

thanks. thats great info. we are talking about 2 and a half fet of repairs on both sensor setof wires. the wires are all seperated in sets with individual wire looms running down the side of the block and not mingling with other wires
