I have been talking with Reggie (Glas467) the resident Vision Microsystems guru about my fuel flow indications, but thought I would post here to see if anyone has seen or dealt with this issue.
I have an O-360-A1A, with VM1000 (Non 'C' Model) engine monitor and FloScan 264 (part# 3010019) fuel flow transducer.
I have been dealing with fluctuating indications that sometimes even go to 0.0 gph during flight. At first I thought I had a short in a wire, but have replaced the wires connecting the transducer to the DPU, replaced all connectors and wrapped each wire coming out of the transducer in hopes there was a small nick I couldn't see that was grounding out in flight. I completed the Vision Microsystems troubleshooting guide and every value checks out. I removed the fuel lines and verified there was no debris and blew air through it to make sure the fan inside was moving freely.
I would have a few flights with good indications, then back to fluctuations. Today, it was the worst it has been and fluctuated and then went to 0.0gph for over 20 minutes. I was able to get some video when the indications came back. I apologize for the video quality, but I was trying to fly and hold my cell phone at the same time.

Has anyone seen this before? If so, how did you fix it.
I talked with JP Instruments and they carry a new FloScan fuel flow transducer (P/N 3010074) and goes for $495.00.
Thanks for the help.
