Had to change the sender in my 2000 just a few months ago. Suddenly fell to zero. It always did its preset when the key was turned on but after engine was started sometimes would register zero sometimes 120.

At the risk of beating a dead dog...

So, it's a consensus? Upon initial start-up gauge goes through self check (0-psi, max-psi, 0, max, 0) then proceeds to settle and remain at max pegged. To me this begs a diagnosis of faulty sending unit but was wondering if we're 99.9% in line yet? $38 at AutoZone (Duralast), cold as a witches teet outside so I'm looking to make this a one-time diagnosis. :blush:
