6G Celicas Forums

I was removing the fuel pump in my 1997 Toyota Celica GT (ST204) because my gas gauge is constantly buried on E even though the car has gas. I'm assuming the piece responsible for sending the fuel level is broke. As I was removing the pump, I noticed that it was extremely difficult to remove because of some orange plastic inside of the tank that is just below the service hole in the tank. Any ideas of what this is? It literally blocks the service hole. I'm not sure if it's a piece that just got shifted out of the way? Or what.

When I tried bolting the pump back in, it refused to line up with the holes.

I believe the part number that I need is Toyota Part No.: 83320-20550, however, it seems to be discontinued. Is there anyway I can
1. Fix this piece
2. Get a whole other assembly

Thanks in advance!

Water Inlet Sensors

Can someone tell me what the grey sensor is adjacent to the green one. I know the sensor with the 2 plastic prongs sticking out is the vacuum switching valve and the green one is the coolant temperature sensor. However, the grey is broken and I need to replace it. Thanks.
