Again, the OAT sensor is to be connected differently from  the other air temp sensors, because it needs to be able to sense below freezing. I think it's ground is at 0.5 or 0.7 volts.

I’ll check again, but i’m pretty sure I grounded EGT 3/4 since I’m not using those at this point.  

All three LM 34-DZ air temp sensors (for OAT, Aux Temp 1&2) are all hooked up per the manual, and “should” be accurate (according to the manual), but they aren’t.  I asked the last question because the manual doesn’t say anything (that I’ve found) about what might cause completely bogus values (could it mean the LM 34-DZ is bad)?  

At this point I’ll go into the calibration and adjust that, and see if that might help, and if it doesn’t will solder another LM onto the three wires. 

Thanks again for your inputs!

What do you have connected to EGT3?

I'm using EGT3 for water temp so will show 3 if water temp is higher than EGT1 and 2 (like after running and cool down).

Group:  My temp readouts seem to be reasonable so far except the OAT (+\- 64), so was wondering if any have seen this before?

Also on the main screen I noticed next to EGT bar graphs a single digit (instructions say that’s the highest temp rotor), but mine displays a “3” once in a while, so it appears mine was programmed as a 3 rotor vs. “2”?
