I have Vans gauges for all of my engine instrumentation. All instruments are installed in the panel and connected to power and ground by daisy chain connections. I have a few instruments that are connected to the sensors but not all.
I am about to go though the engine preservation process recommended by the engine manufacturer where I will be turning over the engine with the starter and without plugs. During this process I will be monitoring the OP and tach, checking to see if they come alive.
This is a boatload of background to ask, is it okay to power up instruments that are not connected to sensors?
Its not a big deal to power only the OP and tach but I am curious. Thanks.
