Camshaft position sensors and drive cycle readiness pass/fail

[ALEV8]

Still trying to get my CTT to pass inspection. Had an evap system CEL and replaced the vent valve up front as well as a damaged oil separator membrane. Cap on the separator has cracked a bit of course but it's on tight. Ran my Durametric scan. I'm now getting a P0349 camshaft position sensor error Bank 2 Sensor A. Simultaneously I'm trying to get all my readiness codes to PASS. Car needs more drive cycles than I normally incur but two of four are PASS, hoping to get the Secondary Air 02 sensors heater and Cat Efficiency tests to pass ASAP.

Car was driven for about 30 minutes in traffic and at normal temps. Yesterday only 02 Heater passed. My educated guess is drive cycle (more driving is necessary). Dunno why readiness would jump around though. I'm not resetting codes so the drive cycle process gets reset as well. In TX only 2 of the 4 readiness tests need to pass.

Is this related to P0349 error?

Must the camshaft position sensors be replaced in pairs?

Maybe I smacked the CPS reaching back to the firewall to the vacuum hose which was just shoved onto the tank vent valve, the spring clamp shoved way back and the hose was cracking badly too.

I'm hoping I don't need to clear all the DME faults each time I check so Readiness can be reached.....somebody let me know! Worn out hose is above the green arrow....right where it turns down to connect to the vent valve.

Drive cycle requirements depend to some degree on the condition of the car, and may take 100-200 miles before everything resets.

Did some research & it seems Loren recommends clearing this fault to see if it comes back, before replacing. Of course I ordered one already!
