Question isspro pyrometer acting up

I have a Isspro EV Pyrometer on my 3 guage pillar set. The Pyrometer has been acting up lately where it dosent start up with the truck. After I drive about 3-5 miles it just starts reading like normal. then sometimes it just stops for a few miles and then restarts again. It is almost as if there is a looses connection somewhere. The readings are correct when it does work. All the guages use the same ground and power supply so if it was a bad ground the others would also be acting up. I have cleaned and rechecked the thermocouple connection many times, I have the weather pack connection for the connector. I now am thinking it may be a loose wire connection in the amp box. I havent done any of the testing yet due to the weather outside. I was wondering if anyone has had this type if issue as well? I had a problem with the tranny temp but it turned out to be the set screws on the amp box were loose. I dont think there are any set screws like the tranny amp box to check. any suggestions here? thanks Jeff

most likely a loose wire at the amp box. every once in awhile one of my trans temp wires works loose from the vibrating of a diesel. its normal just find the culprit and tighten her back down.......

Not sure if this will help but I put dielectric grease on all my electrical harness connections including the pyro..That harness is out in the elements and is bound to get some corrosion on it sooner or later.Just a thought...

I have to pull my connection at the probe - under the truck and clean each winter. It just started acting up for this winter. Thinking I'm going to do away with the connector and strip/solder/shrink tube the connection.

Mine started doing the same thing. I kept tracking down the wires and making sure they were tight. I finally had to call Diesel Manor and they sent me a new unit. Apparently they, Issopro, had some problems with the sending units. Luckily it was still under warranty.

Check all of the connections to see if it is loose somewhere. Mine usually comes loose under the dash

I had a problem with my pyro guage too, everything worked fine except the light. Still under warranty so they just sent me a new one.
