    How did you solve the "Won't stay running, P0341 and P3190" problems?

    Any known DTC(s) for the airbag light problem?

    Well, since replacing the fuel tank/pump, it's been running great and no more check engine light. I haven't rechecked for codes, so I am assuming that the cam code was set due to the erratic idle with the low fuel pressure.
    The airbag light has been on since I got the car, and I don't recall the exact code number. I do remember that it was a code pertaining to the drivers side bag having an open circuit. I also noticed that at times when the steering wheel was at a certain angle and the car turned on, the light would go off. This led me to believe that the "Clockspring" in the steering column was to blame. I found a new one for only $7 on eBay, so I bought it. When I get a chance, I'll install it and see if that's the problem.

    Just a note that the cheap clock spring is not very reliable.

    There are threads on here of owners having to go back in after the repair to do it again.

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).

    Not only that, but they could be fatal if they do not activate the airbag when needed.

    Plenty of places to save money on parts. Airbags are not one of them. Car is so small you already are at a disadvantage against most cars.

    After putting almost 2000 miles on it, all is well. Engine runs great, no longer consuming too much oil. And as a side benefit, the catalytic converter appears to be working properly now, probably because it is no longer being soaked in oil. I cleared codes, and the check engine light remains off, no further codes being set. YAAY!
    I also replace the clock spring, no more airbag light, as well as curing my intermittent cruise control problem. Easy fix.
    With the car fully functional, I might just keep it, LOL!

    Thanks for posting the solution! Fuel pump makes perfect sense for your symptoms. Where did you source the replacement tank?
