There are some excellent Threads on Rennlist that stress simple things like making sure the engine is thoroughly warmed up before accepting a Deviation reading.

Damaged component's tend to push the deviation values one way or the other; the actuators tend to either show no response, or literally go to ridiculous numbers. Sensor failures tend to not give you any values.
Measuring cam deviations has always required a fully warmed up engine, preferably one that has been driven some distance, because the system is oil operated, the flow characteristic's of the oil can alter the data. You need steady state oil to get steady state deviation values.
