Is the needle sticking? If you tap on it, does it drop?
If not, it might be worth just swapping out the sending unit. It may be
getting stuck with the float up in the air.
I believe on this car, dropping the tank and changing out the sending unit
is a major pain in the neck, however. Not something you want to do without
a lift.

Access the fuel tank through the trunk floor. No need to drop the tank. The
fuel level sender can be replaced without removing the whole pump assembly.

I was wrong, though... the other reply is correct, changing out the sending
unit can be done without dropping the tank on this car. This makes it
MUCH easier to do, and it makes it possible to pull it and inspect it.
It may just be a bent rod or something you can free up yourself without
having to replace the whole thing.
