I just wanted to make sure this information was up to date for any future issues being able to get resolution with a free and simple fix. My suspicion is that I had sticking flap(s) somewhere that were fixed by resetting the system.
Mr. Gates has conditioned us to always try a reboot first!! I had the fuel pump out on a Mazda recently - replacing the filter sock trying to chase down a surge (turns out it wasn't that btw). And when the pump went back in it was reading 0 fuel level. I pulled that sucker out a couple times and did a ohmeter test and everything and all seemed in order. Then it dawned on me - I should reset the computer. Quick neg batt terminal pull solved the issue. I still cannot figure out how the ECM knew the pump had been removed since the ign was off the whole time it was apart. Only thing I can figure is maybe the pump sends some different signal when power has been cut, but doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But it goes back to the old adage - when in doubt, reboot it!!
