If you're lucky, exercising the ECU connection fixed it and you can
go back and clean up that connector.

If you're unlucky (or lucky - you pick) it's a connection problem
i.e. bad solder inside the ECU.  If that's the case the voltage
across the sender will be low, but the ECU will think it's
high.  Mark - do you (or anyone) know the source impedance on that
signal?  Or have a voltage/resistance pair taken at some lowish temp?

Otherwise as you say it's something else.

Yrs,
