helppppp!!!!!
Rob. Louisiana Neon Owner and proud of it.
So cleaned all the connections and still nothing. Can't seem to figure this one out and running out of $$$ so if anyone has any idea what it could be I'd appreciate it thanks.
Ground that rattles in between two metal parts, hope this helps
I wouldn't get a half mile,let it sit 20 mins it would start. Fine an drive for hours!
Eventually I Figured out that there is a ground Bolt that u cannot see up under another Part on the drivers side of the motor, this bolt grounds three different electrical components at the same Time! It sits in between two metal parts making an. Intermittent ground issue !
So my suggestion To neon Owners is to chase all ground wires clean and tighten to. Make. Absolutely sure there right! Took me twenty mechanics an two years to figure it. Out!
Hope this helps everyone! Alohaa
In the morning before work the car seems to work fine, but later on, after work(around noon-2) it doesn't want to stay on and dies out.
It's stalling, horribly, and randomly. Htting a bump in the road causes the car to jerk while accelerating(just driving it in general does this but hitting bumps make it worse). And if we slow down to a stop, it stalls out immediately and it's a hastle to start back up because it seems to lack the power or fuel even though I have over half a tank.
The previous owner replaced the fuel pump some time before we bought the car(we have the receipt) and we've had a new alternator put in.
No matter what shop I go to, I get no codes when hooked up to a scanner, everything comes back fine. The only codes I've ever gotten were for the IA temperature sensor and the alternator and both have been replaced. My girlfriends grandpa and I put new spark plugs in and installed a new filler neck yesterday, as well but the problem is still happening.
I could really use some help on this one. I don't want to keep coming out of my pocket to buy random things that "might" be the problem for my very old but loveaable car.
I get a lot of "oh your fuel lines, or fuel filter might be dirty" and today a guy told me it could be my coils or my wires may need changing.
I've used some fuel injector cleaner in my gas and all fluids are at good levels. I'd really appreciate some advice from other neon users.
If your mechanics can't fix it, you might scan the list for a top tech in your area---these people are the best:
