It probably just got innocently swapped in a previous rebuild. It's not a 
problem.

Okay, see below

I don't think the Bentley shows them, but they might be in the info column in 
the FI system check list. Bosch just gives 3 resistances at each of 3 temps for 
each sensor.

I forget, is your charging system voltage up to normal now? If not, fix that 
first.

Check to make sure that all 4 cylinders are firing, as that can waste fuel.

Make sure that the pressure sensor hose is attached at both ends.
