#10 of 13 tapping noise on start up by fuze59 Jan 25, 2009 (1:22 pm)
normb1.. I have a 2001 with 147k on it.. I have the exact same problem! When i start it up i get an engine tapping noise.. if i dont start for 3 days the tapping noise is quite a bit louder.. on cold mornigs its quite bad too..goes away when warmed up..   Hoping its not an engine knock!!!! as i just got the car last week.. I remember on my motorbike (kawasaki) i had the same thing. mechanic told me cos the piston and cylinder were made out of different materials they expand at different rates.. when its cold thast the slap of the piston..once it warms up and metals expand that fraction of a millimeter it will go.. hope this is not the problem cos it only gets worst..   any suggestions would be great..

#11 of 13 98 neon electrical system by bmulder Jul 11, 2009 (4:46 pm)
98 dodge neon electrical system is dead, car will crank and battery is charged. I have no lights of any kind, radio. Prior to this my radio would go dead and come back on, the headlights at night would go bright than return to normal. I am thinking alternator/voltage regulator or computer. Battery id not going dead just absolutely nothing electrical works car will not run. Replies to this message: fuze59 (Nov 04, 2009 8:00 am)
