Yeah. The car will run off the crank sensor.
Rob, every time I have had a misfire code with that cam code, it has been a mis timed engine. I would be happy to ship you a good sensor to test. I suggest checking cam timing.

First one I remember seeing sheared was about five years ago.
The cam gear was turning blue from the heat (they are normally a bronze color)... it looked awesome. Oh that car got a new engine too.

The key completely separates from the cam gear.
It is generally seen on 1.8T engines that have suffered catastrophic engine failure.
I've seen what Joey is describing on at least half a dozen 1.8T engines over the years.
