#113 of 169 2005 Dodge Neon SXT starting/stalling problems by ozarkchick14
Jan 03, 2010 (1:54 pm)
I drive a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT. Recently, it's been starting but dying right after. It sounds normal when I go to start it, but then when I let go of the key, it dies completely. Sometimes I can get it started by hitting the gas sometime when I turn the key. Lately, that isn't working either. I can do that and keep the RPM's up for a few seconds but when I let up on the gas pedal it dies completely again. I've changed the spark plugs and it seemed to stop the problem for a few weeks. Taken it to a dealership and they ran diagnositics and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Can you please point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated!

I am having the same problem! Did you figure out what's wrong with it yet? Here is my experience:
December 2009
Put Neon in garage and drove Cavalier as the Neon was not handling well on ice.
-Had almost half a tank of gas in it.
February 23, 2010
Tried to start Neon, turned over 3-4 times before it wouldn’t turn over at all – dead silence. We tried to jump the battery but that did not make a difference.
February 26th
Put a new battery in the Neon – still would not turn over, dead silence.
February 27th
Dad and brother came over and put a charger on the battery. Car would turn over but not start, tried this couple of times. Brother turned the car over and held the gas pedal down – car started. We drove up to the gas station to put gas in it, drove around town just fine. Went home, and drove it an hour later, it started fine. Went to start it roughly 2 hours later and it would turn over but not start. On the third try it went silent again (no clicking just silence). Put a bottle of heat in gas tank – still silent.
It only has 48,000 miles on it too! We thought we flooded it from starting it numerous times but that's obviously not the problem. I'm lost!

Try having the Cam & Crank sensors replaced. I had the same problem and it worked after I put the new ones in.

95 Plymouth Neon is VERY hard to start. Originally, it would need to be cranked for several seconds before it started, but it would start eventually. It seemed the lower the gas level, the harder it was to start. In fact, it drives fine until the gauge goes to E; however, if the car is turned off and the tank is around a quarter full or less, it will not started again, acting like it is out of gas.Now it has gotten even harder to start and will stall immediately after it finally starts up. Once (and if) it gets going, it drives perfectly fine. I've sprayed starting fluid in the intake, which gets it started, but it will stall immediately. If I don't spray starting fluid, it won't start at all. It has a new fuel pump and fuel filter.
Any ideas? Please go easy on me.....I am not fluent in carspeak.

#122 of 169 Ignition fuse by acesshadow
May 30, 2010 (7:16 pm)
I have a 1999 dodge neon that suddenly shut off driving down the road. After checking I found that the ignition fuseable link had blown. I replaced it and it drove only a few feet but had idled some time. I replaced it again and drove about a mile, another blown fuse. After getting it home I have noticed that it fuse stays good at an idle but when you put it into gear in seconds the fuse gets VERY hot. The car has an automatic transmission. Any ideas anyone?- polpol (Aug 06, 2010 7:44 pm)
