Will code PO128 cause the engine cooling fan to run all the time on a 2006 saturn ion 2, 2.2L?

Seem like the engine is burning more gas now. i can drive 20 to 25 miles after i fill the tank with gas and the gauge move to the 3/4 mark, when i first got the car it didn't do that i could drive for miles before the gauge move.

SOURCE: got a code for the EVAP purge.vent solenoid circuit on 2006 ION

The dirt road might have a little to do with it, but it's just a typical sensor that goes bad in the emmission system.

I had the SAME problem...do you smell any fuel smells? Is your car getting less MPG and is does it have less excelleration? It is the Fuel Injector(s)...

Most likely...one or more has gone bad, I believe this is yet another common problem with the Saturn ION...hhhhmmmm I wonder why they went out of business...

What is the meaning of codes PO452, PO463 and PO128?

The codes p0452 and p0463 refer to the fuel sender unit. There may be a wiring problem and the gauge is not working properly.
p0128 indicates that the engine is running too cold. Possible stuck thermostat in open position. This would cause the engine to run a richer fuel mixture.

What is causing my 2006 saturn ion 2.2L to burn a lots of gas will a thermostat cause it to burn more gas?

code p 0128 refers to coolant thermostat--coolant temp below thermostat regulating temperature ===causes mechanical fault
For that code to appear the answer is most likely yes --it will affect fuel economy
Why because if the coolant is free to flow then the engine operating temp is not reached and so the engine coolant sensor reports that the engine needs more fuel and the air fuel mixture is adjusted to rich as a result
indicates a thermostat that is stuck open

2005 saturn ion that seems to be running fine...The engine symbol light is on? What can cause this?

You'll need to find out what code has been stored. Some auto parts stores will have a scanner that you can use. It could be an evaporative emission code that will turn on the light but the engine will still run fine. If fumes are escaping from a leaking evap system the light will come on. It could be something as simple as a loose gas cap.
