After my latest flight, my MAP and oil presure indication failed simultaneously. I switched the power off and started again. After restart everything looked good and all indications were up. Today, I started the system again and MAP and oil pressure indications fail. Even after a restart, there was no improvement or automatic self repair.
Any ideas?

Well, we can probably rule out the sensors themselves, so that leaves wiring and EMS module. Let's start with wiring...do you have a schematic?

My guess would be they are bundled together at some point and the bundle got loose or was melted due to poor routing near the engine or exhaust.

As S Watson said - it’ll be the 5volt wire or ground - that’s the only common thing to both & it’s more localised as the fuel pressure is working ? and it’s using the same 5 volt input.

wiring all checked, 5V available where it should be. Remains the EMS 220. I'll order a new one to replace it and then we will see. The repair is about €495,- here in Germany. The new one is aboutt €900,-.When the new 220 will solve the problem, then I'll take care of the old one and open it.
