The pressure was varying from 60 to over 90 but all other temps were normal and the engine seemed unaffected. As my mind was racing through the options, that 5 minutes took a looong time to pass. My first call was to Electronics International to see if the MVP-50 Engine Monitor had any similar history. David Campbell at EI told me the first place to check was the connectors. It was the Molex (I know, I know) ahead of the firewall. I had some Fastons (I know, I know) supplied by EI so they solved the problem for now. The EI people have always been very helpful and do whatever it takes to address any issue I have had.
