Hey i have a 2002 Neon Se and when i turn on the A/c it blows warm air and when i looked under the hood at the lines the sending line was cold but the condensor was warm and not even the slightest bit cold. And the kicker was i just had the A/c filled 3 weeks ago. Any suggestions?

hey guys i have a problem with my 04 neon se. the thing is since i bought the car used its previous owner was in a wreck so wen they fixed the car from the front whoever put the front bumper back on didnt do a good job i just noticed this there is a gap on my headlights were the bumper is suppose to go ok well wen i installed my intake i did not notice the gaping hole so wen i was washing my car i notice i could see my intake filter and how it was soaking wet!!! i was thinking of buying a shield or cover sumthin that would protect it from any water coming in through the hole in the body since i figured it would cost way more to actually take it to a body shop so they could actually fix it. so any ideas on how i can seal the hole and cover my intake so water wont get in?? does anyone think a heat shield would do anygood for that?

My 98' Dodge Neon is making a continuous scraping noise when I'm in drive or reversing. The noise is originating from the right front tire area. But when I brake the noise stops. I don't know what the noise could be. I'm also unable to get this repaired for at least six weeks, is it safe to drive?

So, I took it in for diagnostics... but I guess I’m bringing it home to do the tune-up, it’s got almost 80k and apparently needs new spark plugs, a new air filter, and fuel injector cleaner... any suggestions? Should it run fine and get better mileage after all that is fixed and not start misfiring, and the engine light will go off?

I have a 2002 Neon (automatic) and I have been having some

weird sporadic problems. I can't get them to reproduce but

occasionally.

Started out, I would start up the car and take off.... and as

I want to push down the gas to get up to a speed, the car

doesn't go anywhere.... you just kinda hear the engine rev and

then all of a sudden it'll jerk and start moving. Like a

break is stuck or something?

NEXT, I was pulling out of my parking spot one day, put the

car in drive to pull out and the car started to go in reverse.

It wasn't just an idling roll backwards, it went completely

backwards!!

On a separate incident, the opposite happened - I put the car

in reverse and it went forward!

So to sum it up - it kinda stalls and revs at me, it goes

forward in reverse and reverse in drive. For now.

It's really freaking me out and I don't know what to check for

and I don't know if it's worth spending the money I know it's

probably going to cost me to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
