I have an RV-9A I bought with standard Van's steam gauges. Recently, the EGT gauge started acting up. It reads correctly at first, then after 15-20 minutes into a flight, the needle drops to the left peg. It occasionally climbs up to realistic numbers (1300-1400 degrees), then will drop all the way back down. I have checked/cleaned all the connections between the thermocouple and the gauge. Has anyone else had this problem? Is the Van's gauge suspect?
