just got home from auto zone had gentleman there do a code check for me and it said cylinder 2 was misfiring. so we removed the ignition coil pack and had him test that sure enough thats what it was lucky for us he had one in stock and it cost us $90.00 and took like 2 min to put on. so glad it wasnt the timing. Thank you for those that tried to help we really appriciate it

 

oh btw car runs awesome now

 

Shoulda drove it as is until you coulda got an MSD from MPx for cheaper.

 

Or get one off a 2k+ neon/stratus. Live and learn.

 

Well for $90 bucks he is happy he has a good running car again.

 

^^Why 2000+?

 

Nothing special. This comment is more towards sourcing a coil from the yard. Currently using a coil off a 04 stratus. As my neon is a 96, the connector is different. Soldered, and working fine. noticed the 2k plus strauts neons have the same connector for the coil, cam sensor (2.4L), and VSS (speed sensor). Newer connectors may help fight wiring issues.

 

Oh, because they are the same from 97 and up. I do believe the eclipse has the same coil as well. Don't remember what years though.
