I've spent a lot more time installing and maintaining (troubleshooting
and repairing faults where the owner was convinced he/she had a
serious engine problem) "graphic engine monitors" than I have using
an engine monitor to help diagnose a problem.

No ****. All those damn connections just means many more failure points.



The only instance I've ever had on the shop floor where a problem was
identified by an engine monitor in-flight was an engine that spit out
the pipe plug in the alternate position for the fuel injector nozzle.

That happened to me. I could detect a slight engine roughness at idle
and when I pulled the power to land the CHT plummeted by about 150
degrees in just a few seconds. On the ground the engine was just ever
so slightly rough. Found the offending missing plug and replaced it.
