REFLECTOR: EIS 6000 Help

[Craig and/or Denise Woolston]

Yea, I've check all the wiring, I'm using the 301 ohm resistor, I've got a
good ground, and I checked the scale and offset.  No change of the scale and
offset does anything to the reading and if I do a resistive test of the
sensor I get about 9.7 ohms.  I've got GRT sending me a new sensor, will
see, thanks for the hints, just wanted to make sure I hadn't forgotten
anything simple/stupid.

 

Thanks for the info on your FloCal, we still have ours set at 200, but we
are playing with the FloCalR because we have a dual setup, since the engine
pumps fuel back to the tank.  We might have got that one solved, will know
this weekend when we run again.

For the fuel pressure, make sure you have the correct resistor installed,
the Aux SF, Aux OFF and Aux +/- options set correctly and make sure the
sensor ground is connected to a good ground.  

 

The flow may be OK as is (actually sounds a bit low but not out of reason).
Also, my flow scan is running with a FloCal of 190.  Check and make sure you
have something like 190-200.

 

My EIS4000 has been rock solid and a fantastic engine monitor.  I haven't
seen anything that I would replace it with - not even GRT's new color
graphic screens - look nice but take up a lot of room!

Anyone out there got any Grand Rapids Technologies, EIS experience?  John
and I are fighting fuel flow and fuel pressure issues.  The engine runs fine
so I'm sure it's a sensor or system setup but I'm not getting much help from
the factory.

 

We get 0 fuel pressure reading with the engine off, but -0.8psi with the
engine running, does not change with RPM

 

We get 0 fuel flow with the engine off, but we get 0.4gph at idle and 3.5
gph at 1700rpm.

 

We are running an IO-550

 

Thanks,
