Running rough

A couple of days ago I blew a hole in one of the high pressure oil line. I shut the truck down and only had to add 1.5 gallons to bring to full. While that is a significant amount of oil I don't think it hurt anything. Now it runs a little funny intermittently. It was missing at an idle I unplugged the high pressure oil sensor and it smoothed up. Does that mean the sensor is bad?

If u have not put very many miles on it yet, it may just be air in the lines.

It takes about 50 miles or so to purge all the air from the high pressure oil rails so it could be that's all it is.
