I have a 95 Neon with 40k - just replaced the circuit board and now works great. Problem is "cold solder" process used to build the boards for 95-99 Neons cracks and makes for a bad connection so stuff won't work. Found this guy on ebay Seller: in_the_country( 166) who rebuilds the boards. 49 bucks includes one yr warranty, a prepaid return label and 10 bucks credit to return the core. Takes less than 30 minutes to pull the cluster, 4 screws, and pull the board 8 or 9 screws and stick it back in. Hardest part is getting to the two bottom screws in the dash, use a mag screw driver. Be sure to note if you have a tach and 7 or 8k or none in the remarks section.

In the morning when I start the car and get on the interstate, going 55-60 MPH the car will vibrated greatly and the steering wheel will vibrate also. The car will lose power, but not shut off, and while stopping the brakes will be hard to push down. After sitting for about 1 hour it will start up fine and go down the interstate fine? any ideas???

1998 plymouth neon stalling

I have a 1998 5-speed manual Plymouth Neon with about 125k miles. When I depress the clutch to make a turn or stop, the car stalls. Normal shifting doesn't cause a stall (maybe because the clutch isn't depressed long enough for the RPMs to drop below 1000, where it typically idles). The check engine light has not illuminated, so I can't check any codes. Any ideas? Thanks.

96 plymouth neon revving high

Im hoping someone has either had this problem or might know about it. My car has been revving very high when I start it. It sounds like I have my foot on the gas. When I put it into gear it jumps forward probably to about 15 mph without touching the gas pedal. It does this on and off. I had gotten a check engine error message about the throttle, but then it stopped before I brought it in to be checked. If anyone knows anything please let me know. Thanks

Kelly,
I am haivng the same problem with my neon. I have been told that it is the throttle cable sticking. Hence I got carburater cleaner and sprayed the whole cable of what I coud get . It did Not help. With the gas prices this bites big time. I hope some has the correct answer . It might be that we have to replace the cable it self.

I thought I was the only one!!! I posted a while back and got a few responses, but no one was sure. (someone mentioned a crack in the intake manifold, but i don't think that is the case here. doesn't look cracked.) My 2000 plymouth neon all of the sudden starting revving up like that in park, then would just cruise around at probably about 15 mph or so without me pressing the gas at all. Same thing with putting it into gear - it would jump forward...it was fun loading it onto a tow trailer. (thank goodness my dad was there!!) Anyway, not long after that problem, we came home one day and the car was completely DEAD. Nothing. Wouldn't even try to turn over. Tried unhooking the battery and stuff, but it's still dead. The neon is pretty much just an extra car, so we haven't had the time, money or expertise to mess with it much since then. Hopefully someone can give us some answers!!!!

I have a 2000 Plymouth Neon and it has been doing the same thing! It is off and on not all the time. I have manual transmission and it will rev up in neutral, then when you shift between gears it continuously revs. It was doing it bad today so I brought it in to get checked. It took them 20minutes after I got there to bring it back and it had stopped doing it. They couldn't figure out what was wrong. Both the clutch and transmission are good. If anyone has answers please let us know.

Wow! Obviously, it must be at least a semi-common problem with Neons. I checked the recall lists but didn't see anything for sure about this specific issue. There was one about a PVC something or other, but I took mine in waaaay back when that recall was issued. HOWEVER, I do NOT trust that dealer that I had nearby because they supposedly fixed my a/c once, but about a year later we found out that it was pretty much taped together with electrical tape or something ridiculous like that - all rigged up. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't replace anything. UGH - I hope someone can give us some answers soon. Thanks for your reply!!

I think I might have the same problem as you. I have a 1998 Dodge Neon and the instrument panel has gone haywire. Door ajar light flickers, speedometer does not work, interior light is always on, etc... Problem is intermittent.
I have hear that this problem is due to cold solders on a circuit board behind the dash. Does this sound like what you had? If so can you provide me with the contact information Seller: in_the_country( 166). So I can try the same thing you tried?
Thanks in advance for your help.
