yes., or a faulty gauge, or a short in the wiring. Actually if the wire has come off the sender unit and earthed out, it will send the gauge to the top like that. There's a few things for you to check in the morning. lol

Nope, the 3.1 is pretty bullet proof. Sounds like you haven't had much experience with them! or maybe you just bought a bad one

Be sure to run the right diesal additives in the Toyota to save costly fixes.
