The gage does not need the “computer”.
Apparently a wire became disconnected during the swap.
Use an ohmmeter to see if the purple wire from the tank connector is still connected to the dash connector located at the back of the IP.
Then make sure you didn’t disconnect the ground at the tank connector.

Re: Gage Rage
You did plug the harness back in when you reinstalled tank didnt you. The one right above he rear end. Did the same swap. No computer needed.
