the only reason doing this might have made a difference is that unplugging & plugging the sensor back in may have improved the contact within the plug.
rubbing anything off the end of the sensor tip will just be making the sensor tip further away from the target teeth on the flywheel
whack a new one in there with the new plug
do it once
do it right
