    coolant check light

    last night I took the car out for a ride...it had been sitting for a couple of weeks while I'm getting my budget together for my project. all of a sudden, at about 70 MPH I heard a thump from the left rear (might have been the in-tank pump or at least in that vicinity) and my check light started flashing with the coolant indicator lit up...it doesn't make sense to me but it was simultaneous so:?: , hmmm....any suggestions

          i took my car out again this morning out of curiosity...no coolant check light but the whine from my in-tank fuel pump is really loud, excesively loud. i'm going to change it out. i'm also looking for any leak, soft hoses, etc..but nothing so far. we'll see what happens :?

            All that sensor reads is the coolant level.
