Not lame, it should work with that kind of timing light
I can't say about the spark plug checker, i never used one.
Again, if it really is at 15° and cas is turned fully to one side or the other, it means a cam is out 1 tooth (at least) .
Maybe your cas is defective. Now that you know how to check the CAS (ie : put HT lead, set idle to 2000rpm, wait for the engine to be hot, THEN set the cas) You can check if the teeth inside the cas or on the AAC are worn out, it causes the CAS to jitter, which can create this. But if it was, you would have a hard time reading the current position.
Maybe your IACV gets stuck, or you BOV is leaking (if you have one, they do leak) ?
