1998 Chevy astro 125522 mi 4.3 I started have a problem starting my car yesterday went to the zone they scanned it and said the o2 sensor was shot and the egr valve was stuck so I changed the o2 sensor lower bank removed the egr cleaned it put everything together and the van still didn't start I didn't hear the fuel pump so went under the car to check for power as soon as I moved the harness to the fuel sending unit to find the gray wire I heard some nose in the tank so I gave it a shot turned the key and it started right up after it sits for awhile it wont start I move the harness again and the car starts up fine question is it possible to change the harness or does the whole sending unit need to be replaced

Yes, they have a known problem with the harness plugs. If you know what you're doing, the contact can be bent with a pick to create more tension and better contact but your best bet would be to get a new pigtail from the dealer and replace it.
