So this has happened to you? What did you do to fix it? I've checked my connections
and that looks ok, but those wires ARE tiny and it's not easy to crimp
the connectors on...maybe I didn't get it on good but if that were the case it
seems like the gauge would work sporadically (on and off anytime) instead of
only at cruise. I hate to buy a new probe or gauge if there's something else
I can try that I haven't thought of.
We did put a lighter to the probes and didn't get any response on the gauge. But
last time I flew (and that's been a while cause I've been fixin' on things)
one EGT worked fine and the other was doing what I said above.

You have two separate gauges? Good. Next step is to swap the wires at the
gauge. If the problem moves to the other gauge the problem isn't the
gauge. Then swap the wires at the sender, to see if he problem is in the
sender or the connecting wire. Now you'll have it narrowed down to the
faulty component.

Bill, this is Winsted Minnesota. It's about 40 miles west of Minneapolis. Here
are a couple more pictures of that airport.

When troubleshooting the EGT gauges I use a heat gun on the probe to test it.
Lots easier than installing the probe in the manifold and starting the engine.
You can heat the probe and wiggle the wires to help find a loose connection.

Sounds like a loose wire,, something that changes with vibration or heat.

Has anyone ever had an EGT gauge not register anything until up and

Could it be a loose wire? a faulty probe? a bad gauge?

Cristal, I had an EGT problem as you described. On takeoff, it was reading zero
and as I backed off the throttle, it read a normal again. It was the EGT sender
probe in the manifold. I replaced it and all was normal.

Hi gang:
Flew 8 hours yesterday. Spent the night in my tent at Patomac Airport Berkley
Springs, WV. Two hours flight time this morning and I was on the ground at Homer's.
At this time we are having a get together for Homer in the hanger. The place is
packed with friends and family. It is also raining, but that has not dampened
the enthusiam to remember our friend Homer Kolb.
Brother Jim Hauck was here when I got here. He drove up.
Have gotten to visit with many of the old Kolb gang from the early days of Kolb
Aircraft. Always good to see them, but would have been better if Homer was here
to enjoy the company.
Tomorrow is the funeral. Dick Rahill and I will fly a missing man formation in
honor of Homer. Hope the rain holds off until we can get our job done.
Take care,
john h

Hi Cristal,
I have experienced this same issue with a friend's Challenger II. It was the
gauge itself that was the problem (Westach). It was a dual EGT gauge and one
side would was fine while the other side wouldn't register until cruise and
sometime you had to tap the gauge with your finger for it to start working.
The Gauge is due for replacement as soon as time allows.
