Full Tank on the gauge? is it a plastic tanked sedan? My first guess would be that the fuel sender and therefor the pump no longer have a good ground connection to the car body.

FB is it a sedan or a wagon? The sedans had a plastic tank with only one pump (in tank) this is why i was asking about earths. It's easy to get at as there is a 6 inch round inspection plate in the boot floor held in by 3 screws.

FB the Flap that you mention is the vane air flow meter or VAF. The computer calculates how much fuel you engine needs by the position of the flap Vs engine revs among other things.
If it no longer moves freely it becomes an obstruction to the air f |
