I am not at all sure that it is the EIS problem, more likely the senders. Perhaps a short recap might be in order. Every thing was fine until I changed my oil at 160 hours. After the oil change the pressure dropped and the warning light came on on my EIS telling me that I was only getting about 6 or 7 lbs of pressure at cruise. Obviously that was not the case as I was able to fly home with out seizing my engine. I ordered a new VDO, an exact copy of the one that came with the engine. I installed it and it did pretty well except that at idle on landing the pressure would drop to about 10 or sometimes single digits, again triggering the warning light. I finally followed Gerald Olenik's advice and bought a mechanical oil pressure gage. I just completed a flight and found that the pressure stayed constant at 70 lbs of pressure at cruise of 5400 RPM's at 74 degrees OAT and was steady at 25 lbs of pressure at idle. Now if I can only find a long enough tube to go from my rear engine to the front of my pod, I will be in business.
