Brent,
 
While we're on that, I had a situation with a grt eis 6000 (similar to the eau that Chelton sells or used to).
One day my MAP started indicating zero concurrently with erratic indications on several of the egt's.   On investigating I found that squeezing or moving the wire harness from the probes to the eis caused different erratic indications.  Tearing apart the wire harness revealed several spade connectors that weren't connecting anymore.    It's also possible that some were shorting to ground via the shielding on adjacent probes.
 
The unexpected (for me) finding was that fixing the egt connections is what made the MAP work again.   I would guess there is a way to build a more robust interface to the probes such that badness on one input doesn't cause badness on another.  Is there any way I can provide better isolation outside the box?
