I had tried running the car with the CPS unhooked and it made no difference so I assumed it was this sensor.

I'll post back with the results, unless I'm incapacitated from the wife discovering her mirror is gone.

I hope you didn’t break her mirror!
BTW, whether you know it or not, you just answered you first question in your post, and confirmed our gut feeling. This is an important contribution! The 1988 model LN3 3800 engine will run without a cam position signal, resulting in stumbling & hesitation off idle. Lack of cam signal, can be either the cam position sensor, magnet damaged, or missing magnet.
