To test it you will need a multimeter. First, turn the multimeter to the Ω setting then put the red probe on the post where the lead wire goes, then place the black probe on the ground post or body of the sending unit.

This is to be an ignition 1 (ING1) source which is power in both the key run and crank position. Correct the connection of this wire and verify voltage to the pink wire on the injector connector. Test again for fuel spray during crank. If the engine still cranks, is spraying fuel, but will not start go to step 2.
How can I get my fuel tank sending unit to turn?
We used a flat blade screw driver and hammer to tap the ring counterclockwise to loosen it. It took some strong swings with the hammer for it to break free.
