I bought my Neon in late 05 as used, the car has been a great car, and it still is AT TIMES. It has a little over 76,000 miles on it, I recently had the battery replaced. After doing so, the car has been running awful, not everyday, not all day, just sometimes but often, the engine light will suddenly come on as I'm driving, then it usually happens while taking off from a red light, or going up a hill, the car will spit and sputter, and act like it is about to shut off. Sometimes it helps if i let off the gas and just let it do it's thing. I was thinking it was the Fuel system, but I really don't know, a worker at Auto Zone said it's the Cam Shaft Sensor, or something related to that, he said the wires may have came loose when the battery was replaced. I need help on what that may be...and where it is located BUT...theres more, the car has lost a lot of power,gas millage etc. even when it's not doing the whole deal I just mentioned the car can barely make it up hills, I have to put it in 3, and push the petal all the way down to the floor, and it still won't go over 40. Also, what has happened after being stopped at a red light, I accelerate, but the car will not make it over 35-40 mph, the petal is TOUCHING THE FLOOR! The car would not go over 35-40 mph. PLEASE HELP ME! I had the spark plugs changed a little after I first got the car, but that was the only time. Oh... and I think I need Motor mounts, because while i'M at a red light, the car vibrates uncontrollably, and I can hear it vibrate also. It does it worse while at a red light, or while in park, it feels like the motor is going to fall out. Again, PLEASE HELP! I NEED ANSWERS.

| I have a 1998 Dodge Neon that has had the service engine soon light on since we replaced the transmission. It gives me error codes 12 ( Direct battery input to PCM was disconnected within the last 50 key on cycles), and 37 ( Torque converter clutch solenoid CKT or park/neutral switch failure. I also read something about transmission temperature level...), Is there any way for me to fix this without taking my car to the shop? I really don't have the money to do that.... | |
i own a 2000 neon... and when you go up hill and give it some gas it starts shaking violently... im thinking it might be the spark plug wires... but if anybody has another answer let me kno.... thank you

I bought a 95 Neon for my son and we are working together to fix it up. It has many electrical problems we have traced back to a bad wiring harness. Does anyone know of a source for new Neon wiring harness. Either aftermarket or dodge source. I do not want to use one from a junkyard because I have heard many early neons have wiring harness problems and I dont wish to buy someone elses problem. When I search on the internet I only get radio wiring harness, not complete ones. Thanks.
