I don't think the fuel sending unit "tells" the computer anything besides the fuel level. I believe the fuel pump and sending unit (fuel level) are together in the tank. It has been replaced on our car, for what it's worth, and it didn't change anything. It still has a long start, and if you hold the accel pedal to the floor (and one foot on the brake, obviously) before you hit the button and through a start cycle, it will start and die. On second attempt with the accel pedal released, it starts perfectly. I still lean towards leaky injectors.

As far as the dealership experiencing the phenomenon, the misses works at the dealership. They are well aware of it.
