41 leich2 is.it seams to me like it makes sense.im going to try it on myn. man there so many people with this same problem,im suprised we dont have more solutions on this blog tip at the top of a trouble shooting window.
Here is my experience:
December 2009
Put Neon in garage and drove Cavalier as the Neon was not handling well on ice.
-Had almost half a tank of gas in it.
February 23, 2010
Tried to start Neon, turned over 3-4 times before it wouldn’t turn over at all – dead silence. We tried to jump the battery but that did not make a difference.
February 26th
Put a new battery in the Neon – still would not turn over, dead silence.
February 27th
Dad and brother came over and put a charger on the battery. Car would turn over but not start, tried this couple of times. Brother turned the car over and held the gas pedal down – car started. We drove up to the gas station to put gas in it, drove around town just fine. Went home, and drove it an hour later, it started fine. Went to start it roughly 2 hours later and it would turn over but not start. On the third try it went silent again (no clicking just silence). Put a bottle of heat in gas tank – still silent.
It only has 48,000 miles on it too! We thought we flooded it from starting it numerous times but that's obviously not the problem. I'm lost!
Now it has gotten even harder to start and will stall immediately after it finally starts up. Once (and if) it gets going, it drives perfectly fine. I've sprayed starting fluid in the intake, which gets it started, but it will stall immediately. If I don't spray starting fluid, it won't start at all. It has a new fuel pump and fuel filter.
Any ideas? Please go easy on me.....I am not fluent in carspeak.
push it in and try that. email me for anything else. :mad:

I have had my neon for 5 years now and I am having the EXACT same problem..taken it to 2 different garages and after $820.00 its STILL doing it... I had all new plugs wires and fuel injector cleaning....and at 2nd garage had new fuel pump put on...and its STILL not working....HELP
Anything would be greatly appreciated. It dies out quick like it lost all power, I am wondering if it could be an electrical problem.
not easy to take out but can be done buy a new one 85$ canadian
good luck also check under fuze box under hood all wire are connected
Second, the "door" light comes on when all doors are closed, and it would leave the light on and drain the battery. When I replaced all the Door jamb switches that fixed the problem.
My neon is a 2000, but I have seen a lot of similar problems with other years as well. And These may not fix your problems, but I hope that this will at least help.
Hi, I have a 1999 Dodge neon. Few weeks ago I was accelrating on highway & it lost all power then instantly died. Started right back up. i took it to mechanic they changed throttle body, throttle position sensor, fuel pump & fuel filter. Before taking it to mechanic the computer scanner did not pull up any codes. I got car back & it now had long start up & hesitation on take off & misfiring. Took it back to mechanic they adjusted throttle body. Still had same problems & had it scanned again scanner showed bad cam sensor. I replaced that & has it scanned again it still shwoing bad cam sensor & now ambient air temperature sensor. Currently car still has long start up, & loses power on accelerating too fast. could my PCM be bad? Or if anyone has any other ideas I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
