Need help with fuel gauge

Any ideas what could cause the stock fuel gauge to stop working? I was told it was working when it went in to the shop and wasn't when it came back out. Are there any connectors on the harness or something that might have been left unplugged? Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions.

Well, Rotor Sports Racing upgraded the whole fuel system (pump, lines, regulator, injectors, etc) before I got the car. The problem is that the car is with me in Ohio now so I can't really just swing in there. I was thinking about calling them though to ask about it.

If they did the pump, they probably knackered the level sender. That would be the first thing to check.

Sorry for the kind of newbie question, but how much of a pain is it to pull the pump? You don't need to drop the tank on these cars, do you?

Very cool. Thanks. I'll guess I'll pull the pump and take a look. Doesn't sound too bad at all.
