Mine does the same thing Don, and I had figured that the extreme lack of
linearity was due to a repair I made to the sensor. When I bought the car the
sender was dead. I opened it up and resoldered the wire that makes up the
variable resistor, loosing a bit of wire in the process as I recall (this was a
long time ago). But based on some very humorous posts from other enlistees re
diminishing MPG fuel economy over a tank of gas I was feeling good that maybe I
hadn't changed my sensor that much.
So...I don't know what caused yours to read the way it does, maybe its standard.
Or maybe another DPO was too cheap to buy a new sensor.
