#9 of 92 stalling 95 dodge neon by dragonneon May 31, 2006 (8:51 pm)
i have spent alot of money on this neon so far this year i have put 18"chrome rims with 215/35/18 on lambo doors and i have full air ride on this car and a octane body kit.   this car is now 11 years old nad the own before never changed anything. so guess what. i've bin changing this ever t month in this car. but im having trouble with it stalling. ive changed the plugs wire. coil twice 2 new battery 3 fuel filtters. and still trouble even time i slow down or stop at light my car will be fine until i push down on the gas. and theres nothing, no move ment no noise nothing. i have to tap it over and over again nad then slowly theres like a burp nad it slowly starts to move nad then the power kicks in.   and if it stalls i have to tap the gas pedal when turning it over....does anyone have an idea... i have it up on blocks right now so i can drain the gas out, and then in the morning im going to get a new fuel pump and hope to good it fixes it... the only weird thing is the check engine light comes on and the codes tell me that its a throtle senor issues and a multpil cylinder miss fire. and a injector miss fire...   so that changes things from what i thought but still they all need gas to fire so hopefully im right .... if anyone has an idea please let me know thanks steve.

Replying to: dragonneon (May 31, 2006 8:51 pm) Codes don't lie. As I was reading your problem I was saying "Throttle Sensor" because my 99 will sometimes want to stall after I've first started it on a cold or wet day and I've installed high performance wires on it. If you have the bucks, get it to a shop and have a diagnostics test done on it. Also it's not a bad idea to go to Autozone, PepBoys or Advanced Auto Parts and pick up the Haynes Manual for the 95-99 Neon. It's a great investment. A "Throttle Sensor" is what was called the "Choke" on the older cars with regular Carburetors.

Replying to: dragonneon (Jun 05, 2006 8:17 am) Standard timing belt change requires the removal of the water pump. They usually replace it when they remove it.
#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... It doesn't work Replies to this message: arcadefreak36 (Oct 09, 2006 3:28 am) biggestbee (Oct 18, 2006 5:35 am)
