#1 of 2 1999 Dodge Neon stalling (automatic) by lakersgrl05 Apr 20, 2009 (5:43 pm)
Hello everyone, I am new here... hoping to find some answers here.   I have a 99 neon with automatic transmission. Lately I have been having a bizarre problem. The problem started one day when the car didn't want to start- I had to pump the gas a little bit to get it to turn on. Then when I was pulling out of the parking lot, when I pressed on the break (going less than 5 mph), the car completed stalled out and turned off... luckily I was still in my parking lot. I was able to turn the car back on, and I revved the engine a bit, and then it ran fine.   The car does stall a bit when trying to accelerate, and it seems to get stuck around 40 mph. I really have to press on the gas to get it to go- like when getting on the highway.   The main problem is stalling when I am pressing on the brake slowing down around 5-10 mph it will shudder and stalls out and act like it is going to die. It has not turned off since that first time. It does not do this problem all the time, but lately it seems to be doing it more often.   Any clue of what this could be? I do have an oil leak, but I had the oil changed last weekend, so that should be fine.   Any help is appreciated... I am not a car person at all and I'm tired of getting ripped off by car shops here!

Replying to: lakersgrl05 (Apr 20, 2009 5:43 pm) My suggestions would be a change of the air filter and spark plugs. If that doesn't work, you might have to try replacing your cam/crank sensors. First and formost, go to a parts sore and pick up the haynes repair manual. It will give you hints on what might be wrong and ways to fix it. It'll also give you a better chance at fixing it WITHOUT having to take it to a shop.
