I had to replace the Camshaft position sensor and connector, the camshaft reluctor (magnet) is loose I can shake it with my finger. Engine is running smooth and no codes so far. My concerns are will the reluctor eventally fall out or should i bite the bulllet replace the reluctor? How it replaced?

Cam magnet is just held by a couple barb tabs, nothing extreme, but fairly reliable. It will wiggle when you press it, but should be fine.

Most misfire issues with these cars originate from the top end, vacuum leaks or other common issues. At this age, it's worth going over the entire thing to confirm components and intake gaskets are in good shape and sealed back up.
