I would imagine it could affect drivability - the sensor monitors the timing of the camshaft, and relays that to the ecu which directs the vanos system - I think.

Regardless, if this happened to me the first thing I would do is make sure I put everything back together correctly. If it started after you were digging around in your engine I would think it got bumped or possibly the wire plug didn't seat properly.

Or the new ICV could have exposed a weakness in the sensor causing it to fail, which to me seems the more unlikely of the two situations.
