Default Check the calibration setting on the fuel flow...

The fuel flow sensor reads around 68,000 pulses per gallon... (Red cube reference number from memory). The dynon has to be set up with the correct pulse count for a gallon... Since all that the sensor does is send pulses the computer needs to know what the pulses mean.

Question Solved

I tried a flow check right after the flow sender and still got 4.6 gph. Talked with Mike at Dynon and the only thing he thought was to remove the sender and see if some foreign object might be hanging up the impeller. When I re-installed I realized I had it reversed as far as in and out of the sender is concerned. Reattached correctly and now I get fuel flow of guess what 4.6 gph. User error once again, actually only partially.

My fuel pressure reads .6 when boost is off and 29.2 on, Mike had me check OHM between wire stud (with wire off) and the case and it is high. He thinks it might be a bad sensor. He trying to see if he can get me another to try so I don't have to buy a new one. Unfortunately they don't carry this type sender for fuel pressure anymore! At least he is making an effort to help me out! Going to go over things once more to make sure the pressure sender is not a user error issue.

I am glad to be the fool publicly so those after can just read the fix and not embarrass themselves.

Cheers
