While following this guide to replace the O ring on the fuel shut off lever I pushed the shaft into the pump. The shaft pulled back out (into place) but after starting the car it won't shut off. When I started the job the lever would not go up (resistance), now there is no resistance.

How do I realign / fix the problem I've created (Looking at post #3 in this thread I guess my IP rack is out of alignment. How do I fix that :/ )

FYI: I checked for a hose that may have come off / broke - no luck. To shut off the car I need to push the shaft into the pump and turn it. Then the car gradually runs out of fuel.

I'm hoping this will be a simple fix because I need to have her on the road Friday morning.
