## Discrepancy

IAH TO STL - DURING CLIMB-OUT WHILE PASSING THROUGH 9,000 FT, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED THE NR 2 ENGINE ITT WAS AMBER WITH AN INDICATION OF 905C AND CLIMBING.  THE POWER WAS REDUCED IMMEDIATELY AND THE QRH WAS EMPLOYED FOR TROUBLESHOOTING.  AS A RESULT THE POWER WAS REDUCED TO MAINTAIN ITT AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL.  IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT THE ENGINE NR 2 FUEL FLOW WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN ENGINE  NR 1.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO FIELD AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE NR 2 ENGINE AND FOUND THE V-BAND DISCHARGE CLAMP MISSING FROM THE DISCHARGE TUBE.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE MISSING V-BAND CLAMP AND RAN THE ENGINES WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
