Problem Cause
Required Action
Decline in EGT uniformity, most
visible at cruise power settings.
EDM-700
GEM 603/610
Fuel system restriction or dirty
injection nozzles.
Clean fuel nozzles. Do flow check
for uniformity, and if problem
persists check fuel system for
proper pressure and flow.
Magneto Check:
EGT is often a better indicator of ignition problems that have been traditionally diagnosed by observing
rpm drop during run-up. If one spark plug or ignition wire on each mag is defective the single mag check
would indicate an equal rpm drop on each. Such a double failure would go undetected. The engine
monitor will not only identify the problem but pinpoint the affected cylinder.
Mixture check:
The engine monitor displays a uniform EGT rise of all cylinders during mixture control check. An
abnormally large exhaust gas temperature differential in one or more cylinders in fuel injected engines
may warn of a fuel injector constriction.
