try to reprogram the computer. Even though the sending unit was change the computer may still have the old sending unit in it's memory. Most mechanics don't recommend disconnecting the battery for a few minuts then reconnecting it. To reset the computer. The car should be driven appox 30 to 50 miles before it resets itself.
