How is it hooked up when you do the test? Different that when in the tank? I wouldn't entrust in the speed that the needle moves, as mine changed a bit after changing the sensor.

Well both connectors are hooked up, but it's not in the tank.

So as you lower it in the tank it stops working? Did you wiggle the plug to see if that changes anything?

I've probably nudged it but wasn't paying attention to the gas gauge. I'm chocking this up to a loss, and just gonna rely on filling up every 400 miles. Too much time invested, and I'm not chasing wires from the trunk to the pcm

Update...with the pump in the tank, I unhooked the square connector with the key and pump on. It went to full, but when I plugged it back in, it went to where it's been staying. Shaking the pump around alters the fuel gauge a bit too.
