ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION OR LOSS OF POWER
(Continued)
EXCESSIVE FUEL VAPOR
Fuel vapor in the fuel injection system is most likely to occur on the
ground, typically during prolonged taxi operations, when operating at
higher altitudes and/or in unusually warm temperatures.
Excessive fuel vapor accumulation is shown by fuel flow indicator
(FFLOW GPH) fluctuations greater than 1 gal./hr. This condition, with
leaner mixtures or with larger fluctuations, can result in power surges,
and if not corrected, may cause power loss.
To slow vapor formation and stabilize fuel flow on the ground or in the
air, set the FUEL PUMP switch to the ON position and adjust the
mixture as required for smooth engine operation. If vapor symptoms
continue, select the opposite fuel tank. When fuel flow stabilizes, set
the FUEL PUMP switch to the OFF position and adjust the mixture as
desired.
LOW OIL PRESSURE
If the low oil pressure annunciator (OIL PRESS) comes on, check the
oil pressure indicator (OIL PRES on ENGINE page or OIL PSI on
SYSTEM page) to confirm low oil pressure condition. If oil pressure and
oil temperature (OIL TEMP on ENGINE page or OIL °F on SYSTEM
page) remain normal, it is possible that the oil pressure sending unit or
relief valve is malfunctioning. Land at the nearest airport to determine
the source of the problem.
If a total loss of oil pressure and a rise in oil temperature occur at about
the same time, it could mean that the engine is about to fail. Reduce
power immediately and select a field suitable for a forced landing. Use
only the minimum power necessary to reach the landing site.
