Check the EGT connections, if all good your EGT probe burned out.

How long should it last? I have only had it on for 5 months.
Where can I get a new one at?

I would give Zeitronix a call. They stand behind their products and would be very helpful.

The probes are low mass, high response units. The fastest K thermocouples in the market. The fast reacting probes in turn have to be thin. I would plan on replacing it every 6-12 months, YMMV. Depending on how you use the car and where it is tapped.
