Durametric - Cannot see camshaft 2 deviation

[dbeesley1]

I'm trying to check the health of the IMS on a 98 base I recently purchased. I have invested in the durametric software and I only see the deviation for camshaft 1 (see pic attached).

How do I view the camshaft 2 deviation?

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.

I hooked up my Duametric to run the same test and found that each time I start the car the cam 1 and 2 deviations change. They remain constant as the car is running, but they change each time I shut off and restart the car. It is not a temperature variation issue but I suspect it is normal.
