At the risk of being misunderstood, my question is: What is a target magnet?

Never seen it cause a misfire for any one cylinder, have seen it set P0340 code for cam timing. In answer to question #2, target magnet is the magnet on the end of the cam shaft that the cam sensor reads off of.

Have had a lot of misfire issues on these beauties because of a harness chafing through on the valve cover.

during your diag procedure i would swap a couple coils and see if the misfrire moves. From what i think, the cam sensor only syncronizes inj pulse and spark for start up. Once running it uses the crank sensor. You can prove this by un-plugging cam sensor with eng running. I've seen quite a few of these with coil issues. Hope it helps
