Randy,

I found someone through ebay that does repairs on the VM1000.

He seems to be a decent guy although I do not have any experience yet with his quality or pricing. He is currently working on my data processing unit for the VM1000.

His name is Reggie, email: mooney37v@juno.com

I have been seeing indicated fuel pressures (9 - 13 PSI) on my VM1000 that are too low for the fuel servo (requires around 20 PSI) to operate at - but it continues to operate.

So after checking and modifying the fuel lines (changed from series to parallel for the boost and mechanical pump), removing the mechanical fuel pump and having it checked out at the manufacturer, we decided to just replace the fuel pressure sensor - figuring it would be under $100 to replace.

I called JP Instruments and got a quote of $650.  Holy crap.

The technician told me I could field-test the sensor and that it has an output of 1mv per PSI input.  ie 5 mv for 5 PSI, 10 mv for 10 PSI, 50 mv for 50 PSI etc..

Does anyone out there want to sell a working-but-not-using VM1000 fuel pressure sensor (the higher pressure one) for fuel injected engines?

Does a guy have any options or FP sensors other than VM1000 brand that put out that kind of output?
