Taxi'ed back to the hangar and started to run the Auto Program with what seemed to be some succes and got about a third the way through when I started to worry about the engine getting too hot (I wish the H2O temp was displayed in the program mode), so I shut down Auto Program and the H2O was reading 233, so I am glad I shut down. > > Let it cool a bit and started to restart and NOW the dang thing was flashing between NOP and the tach reading again.
