I have a 2000 Plymouth Neon with 101K miles. Have had this current problem for the last 6 mos. but has been intermittent and gradual. My automatic locks are constantly clicking while I drive, above 30 and 40 mph. My dome light also turns on occassionally while driving and my dash reads that a door is ajar, even though it is not. Any ideas?

Replying to: juniorproducer (Apr 13, 2009 6:50 am) Now my radio quit working no electricty getting there and the fuse is new. Here is an expensive lesson I have experienced. At 90, 000 miles I replaced the timing belt and put on a new water pump. I now have 197,000 miles on it. The timing belt pully broke the timing belt broke as well, the engine stopped. I had it towed to a local shop. The owner said he was sure at 50% he could replace the pullu and the belt and get it going, if the valves were not bent. Itook the chance and I was aware it might not work. Well nearly $400. and the valves are bent. Now whenI fix it, the cost will be more than $600. I was wrong to take such a gambel. So if you have not had you timing belt and water pump changed do so 101K is a belt just about to brake. Hope this helps. farout |

I am a new member to this forum and i have a question hopefully some one can answer. My wife has an automatic 04 DODGE NEON SXT that she want to get rid of but i really like it and want to keep it for myself and trade my mustang for a new car for her cause we got a baby girl on the way. I was wondering is it possible to put a srt-4 motor in it and what would i need to do the engine swap.

Replying to: 1dodgefan7704 (Apr 18, 2009 4:26 pm) This for all practical reasons is a dangerous idea. Here is why. The engine would fit, but the tranny is a special beefed up stick, brakes are extra heavy duty, the body is strengthened, all the control moduels are different. But say yoy really wanted to put an SRT engine in the safe way it would cost more than you can buy a fairly low mileage SRT for.If your 04 sxt has acceptable mileage in the NADA sell it andthen buy a real honest to goodness safe solid worth something SRT. To give you go on ebay motors and check out all the SRT's. By having a blessing on the way I am assuming you are 30 or less years old perhaps uo to 35, insurance on a SRT just might be really up there. If you did find an SRT engine and tranny, you would spent real high dollars for it, there are lots of SRT's with needed rebuilding and many would rather get a used engine even for big bucks. Call some different auto salvage places and see how many SRT engines you find, id any. Sorry to but the brakes on for you, but safety is always the best idea first and formost. Oh, we had an 04 sxt. Our daughter had an accident, at 30 miles an hour everything worked perfectly. The air bags went off, the engine tucked under the body as designed and she just had some neck pain from the air bag going off. The Neon is designed to protect the driver and passengers, and because of that the vehicle crumbles. In a accident this is a throw away car. The design for safty was good, for rebuilding it costs too much.
