I bought the car listed above base model. The fuel sending unit wasn't any good Soni ordered one, but the new one was a 3+2 connection my car has and requires a 4+2 connection. so, I've looked everywhere online and from what I gather the 4+2 was discontinued and I'm stuck with a $100 sending unit and pump assembly. Can I get some help on locating the assembly that I need or instructions in wiring it up somehow?

Here are the wiring diagrams for the fuel pump and fuel level sender so you can make the three-wire work, or I would try eBay for the correct pump. The black wires are ground which you can put together, Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
