Today was troubleshooting day in trying to solve the issues I have had with the CHT2, Fuel temp, and fuel gauge. I decided to first check all connections to the GEA 24 and control module, I removed the connections from the GEA 24 and then reinstalled them. I turned on the G3X, issue still there. I then by chance bumbed the wiring bundles attached to the control module and I noticed on the G3X that the gauges in question would work and then show unconnected. I then figured it had to be a connection issue with the control module. I checked all the D-subs attached to the control module and found that the D-sub "EFIS" was attached but not fully screwed in. I tightened it and checked all others. Look at the screen again and all gauges in question seemed to working fine. Issue Solved!!!
I then decided to do another oil purge since I had been getting soft lifters. I put about 15 PSI on the system and turned the prop about 60 times. I then checked the lifters and they all seem solid. Finally oil purge success.
It was raining to much to pull the plane out and do another engine run, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
Time: 2 hrs.
