Sounds like the electrical part of the system is ok. You probably have a mechanical issue. Reluctor ring damage, excessive cam endplay ect..

the cam sensor reluctor is part of the roller cam it can not slip or break its strange looking not like a normal square picket fence I cant see it being part of the problem but I was thinking mabey the timing chain is really loose and its going out of phase with the crank sensor???

I see this on ford products when the ignition coils or alternator are giving off excessive RF noise..
