I dropped  the bolt that holds camshaft positioning sensor in the hole were the
sensor goes? I have tried to fish it out and no luck.By looking at videos online

The safest thing is to tear it down, find the bolt then reassemble. Don't forget to use a memory saver tool before you disconnect main power to work on the engine.
