I doubt the shaft itself is anything to worry about. It's not the camshaft or anything, its a shaft that turns about 90 degrees via a motor to vary the lift of the valves. The sensor is at the end of the shaft and provides feedback on what position it is in. This all acts as a throttle too. When you disconnect the sensor the system fails back to default valve lift and a different more traditional throttle control.
I've seen threads where the sensor replacement was covered, but the challenge is no codes being thrown and convinciung a mechanic that this is what is wrong. Some seem to have seen it a dozen times, others wont breath without a code, let alone lift the valve cover...
Post back when you've run it disconnected...
