>> I just started experiencing widely varying RPM read outs on all 3 of the g=

FD and EIS all show correct RPM read outs.  Not until I get into cruise and s=
et the prop to 2400 do I see the problem.  I slowly begin to see all 3 of th=
e read outs start to show a 2300 to 2600 (or there abouts) variance.  All 3 g=
auges are in sync and agreement on the numbers.  In other words, they all 3 r=
ead the same thing and the variance is very rapid up and down.  Since I have=
 already concluded that the prop governor is functioning properly and I do n=
ot feel or hear a prop pitch change during these occurrences, I am all but 1=
00% sure I have some sort of erroneous information being sent to my "glass" a=
nd therefore erroneous readings.  As such I believe I need to check all of t=
he wiring and or "pick ups" between the engine and my MFD, PFD and EIS.  My p=
roblem is that I am not familiar with any of that.  Can someone reading this=
 please help me get started by suggesting where I should look for the source=
 of where my equipment gets the RPM information from the IO550 (location of p=
ick up)?  Further, any kind of procedure to track down where or what my prob=
lem might be would be most appreciated.

nt it for overhaul and it checked out perfect.
