OK, that's the same sensor we used this year.
May I suggest you re-position your sensor closer to the teeth. Ours id currently approximately .5 to 1mm from the teeth and works perfectly.
Here is a picture. In fact, it is too far out in this picture. We ended up moving it in even closer.
If you look closely, you can see two washers used as spacers. We removed the thicker one and our intermittents went away.
