#15 of 92 96 neon stalling by djk111 Jul 05, 2006 (11:01 am)
my neon will run for about 10 min, then stall out. it will restart but then just die agian. the longer you wait the longer it will run. on shorter runs it runs great. i replaced the o2 sensor but that did nothing.

Replying to: djk111 (Jul 05, 2006 11:01 am) Try checking your EGR valve assembly. My 97 Neon was doing the same thing. It works by opening a small passageway between the exhaust and intake manifold to allow a metered amount of exhaust to flow back into the engine. This reduces combustion temperatures and helps control the formation of oxides of nitrogen. If it sticks in the open position or fails to close all the way, it acts like a vacuum leak resulting in a rough idle, hesitation and possible stalling. This is what my neon was doing. The valve was stuck open and would run great on short runs but not on long runs. The part cost only 80 bucks and it has been running great ever since.
#17 of 92 2000 neon, sometime hard to start by mike889 Aug 22, 2006 (9:47 pm)
I recently bought a 2000 neon es, 5spd 94k miles. The car had been well cared for and is in great shape. It drives and rides vgood. It does have one very annoying problem. Every once in awhile it is very difficult to start. I'd say this problem happens roughly 10% of the time you go to start it. I've replaced the plugs and wires. Two days ago after not experiencing the problem for about a week, I took it to my mechanic. He hooked it up to the computer which showed no problems, it started every time for him. I got into my car to drive home and it wouldn't start. This car is otherwise in great cond. and fun to drive. any ideas?
#18 of 92 Starting problems 98' Plymouth Neon SOHC by starclaws Oct 07, 2006 (11:10 am)
Okay so my starter recently went bad had it tested... sure enough was bad... They usually go bad... No big deal. So I went and bought a new one... Stuck it in... Connected it all up... Still won't start.   Cleaned my battery connections so you can eat off them. Tightened battery connections. Tested 12v across the battery. Tested 12v across the starter. So I have power okay?   Noises when starting I can hear the fly wheel and the starter clicking. I can also hear something else clicking... Like a relay/fuse near the driver side dash... But Im just thinking thats the starter relay engaging...   Now originally all that was wrong was a bad starter... So whats up? Need anymore diagnosis on the situation to help me? Just ask and I'll go check... Ive been without a car for over 6 months and I just want a car again   98' Plymouth Neon SOHC 2-Door Red...

Replying to: starclaws (Oct 07, 2006 11:10 am) Don't know if you fixed your problem but perhaps you bought a bad starter. Back in 1994 I had a 1980 Dodge 150 Custom pickup truck that also had a bad starter. They were easy to install so I bought one and did it myself. Guess what, it didn't work. I went back and told the parts guy and he assured me that the starter was tested before it was sold. So I had my truck towed the way it was and my mechanic told me the starter was no good and installed a new one. I brought the starter I bought back to the parts store and got my money back.

#23 of 92 Won't idle until warm by sawatzkd Nov 13, 2006 (4:51 pm)
I have a 97 Neon. When I start it, it starts fine but unless I step on the gas it stalls right away. It is fine to drive, but as soon as I take it out of gear it stalls. This will continue to happen until its been driven for about 5 minutes. No engine fault codes. Any ideas?
