code 12 is almost always on there, it's from battery voltage dropping too low within the last 50 starts (basically, when you start the car, the starter draws the power below that level)

it's technically for power to pcm disconnected within last 50 starts, but from what i've heard is it's just a voltage monitor pretty much

After you turn the ignition on and off 50 times without disconnecting the battery.

The 00-05 magnum cam is a nice upgrade for the 1st gen neon. Get the springs as well....put that with a nice ported/polished head and you can feel a nice difference.
