Occassional problem starting - Engine Light - Followed by problems accelerating
Neon Fans
Thanks for reading this. This dodge neon 2004 2.0 liter of ours has been getting symptoms.
Most of the time it runs just fine.
Then, after a day of turning it on and off a lot by driving and doing errands, it can either get an engine light or have problems starting. If this happens the car most likely will have issues with power while accelerating in the 30-40 range.
It's like the car jerks a little bit when it should be accelerating but it is like a lack of power.
I pull over turn off the car for a minute, then back on and most of the time that works.
The engine light may persist for a while but then can go away for a while until it happens all over again.
The engine light sensors are for knock and cam sensors.
My mechanic cannot definitively tell me what's wrong though.
since these symptoms started we have put in a new timing belt with pump. I also have put in new spark plugs, wires, coil pack & recently a new cam shaft sensor.
I was hoping it was the cam sensor but the issue arose later on that same day.
Any ideas? Any sensors I might replace next?
Thank you for any help you guys can afford me.

I swapped out a Throttle Position Sensor and for months it ran fine with no issues but then they started up again.
