If you have a ROW car, only cam 1 will show. But don't worry, cam 1 is the cam thats attached to the IMSB side of the intermediate shaft and if the IMSB is bad enough to cause cam deviation, it will show it. By the way, your cam shows no deviation and it is right on the money, 0.0, which I've never seen, mine are off by -4.x and -5.x.

I would check it again, because the absolute value on mine varies with engine temperature a few tenths of a degree, so maybe the cam position sensor may be bad? Don't know, I'm thinking out loud.
