First of all to clarify things, are you referring to the sensor with one terminal or two terminals ("left" and "right" can be confusing)? I had a similar problem with my car, so I removed the one terminal sensor and "ohmed it out" with my multi-meter. I then checked several extra sensors I had and the readings were quite different. I swapped out the sensor and the gauge started working properly again. I don't remember what the readings were, as this was several years ago. Perhaps someone else here has the proper readings. If they don't, let me know and I'll check a known good sensor when I go to my shop.
