3.4.4. ENGINE PARTIAL POWER LOSS
Indications of a partial power loss include fluctuating RPM, reduced or
fluctuating manifold pressure, low oil pressure, high oil temperature and a
rough-running engine. Mild engine roughness in flight may be caused by
one or more spark plugs becoming fouled. A sudden engine roughness or
misfiring is usually evidence of an ignition system malfunction.
NOTE: Low or no oil pressure may be indicative of an imminent engine fail-
ure.
