You'd have to check the valve position by manually rotating the eccentric shaft to ensure that it is set to max valve lift... If the shaft isn't at max lift, you'll be limiting airflow.
Otherwise, there does not seem to be any ill effects of running without the eccentric shaft senor. All the eccentric shaft sensor does is provide feedback of actual valve angle the ensure proper actuation is being achieved by the valvetronic. Without valvetronic operating, the DME fail-safes to controlling airflow with the throttle plate like an N54 does.

Since car runs fine, I'm assuming the valve is open. but how open is the question. I've the engine covers removed. Can you point me to where should I be looking? Any illustrations/videos should help
