OK, THIS is weird...

Started up my CH750/Jabiru 3300 / EIS 6000 / GRT Sport FX EFIS this morning and was surprised to see, on the EFIS display, all 6 EGTs WAY over the alarm setting of 1400 F., like they were all over 2400. CHTs were normal for a minute or so, and then they, too, shot up over 500 or so. Oil temp also, over 325, All other EFIS readings normal; fuel, totalizer, PFD data, Map data, etc. The EIS readout was perfectly normal in all respects, EGTs, CHTs, oil temp all normal. Rebooted the EFIS, same bizarre behaviour.
Checked the D sub connector to the EFIS, seated properly and physically held in position with typical D sub connector machine screws.
Attaching a pic taken after engine shutdown. The EGTs dropped, and some look [sort of] normal, but just before engine shutdown, all were sky high RED.
Has anyone run in to such a failure? More details on demand (although the above text pretty much sums it up...) Thanks!
