[QUOTE="Doug Kaye, post: 1041058, member: 73761"] no, the lack of coolant could not cause the mpg or the fuel sensor code. The mpg drop is most likely caused by the bad fuel sensor.. my 2004 had both those things happen. Replaced the fuel sensor as mentioned in the thread that swshawaii linked to, improved mileage and ran more smoothly after that. The sensor is cheap and the replacement easy, just do it. Had a slow leak in radiator like yours, dumped some bars-leaks or similar in it which mostly stopped it, drove and kept checking the overflow reservoir which stayed full. But, turns out the overflow reservoir outlet was blocked, and radiator slowly ran dry.. Good news is the radiator is cheap, can get a decent quality one for under $100, and replacement straightforward. Haven't had to replace the water pump yet.. good luck ;-) [/QUOTE]
