I recognize that the DDMP and gauge on the Saratoga II TCs are connected (as per the wiring diagram), and they share the same sensors/sending units. The JPI EDM700 data monitor has its own sensors. Here's my dilemma: during all phases of flight, other than initial climb, the fuel flows between all 3 indicators match close enough. On climb out, where fuel flows are expected to be in the 30-40+ gallons per hour range, I'm seeing near 0 (zero) on the gauge and DDMP, yet accurate numbers on the EDM. There seems to be no actual issues with the fuel flows and the plane climbs as it should, performance is exactly what I expect, and engine noises are consistent for climb. As soon as I lower the nose, the gauge and DDMP once again become more accurate.

Any initial thoughts from those with similar experiences (it seems my 2 places to check are the gauge and the sending units, but I'm looking for anyone that has had this experience before to help narrow it down).

Thanks!

-Jason.
