Default Im ****ing done with neons...

After tonight, **** neons. I decided to finally put mine up for sale, I am getting no help on finding the problem, and it keeps going back to the PCM, which has been replaced twice.

F/S, 1997 Plymouth Neon
The good: 89,000 miles, deep amythist in color, newish tires (only about 500 miles on them), ATX, Sedan, new head gasket, water pump, timing belt, cam sensor, crank sensor, timing belt covers, drive belts, plugs, replaced crank pulley, tensioner, wiring harness, PCM, coil pack, plug wires, and some other things.

The Bad:
First of all, it wont run. Everything functions as it should, except for the secondary coil drivers from the PCM which times the engine equaling no spark. Have not been able to track down the problem, maybe you can give it a shot. It was also involved in another fender bender leaving the FP side fender, corner of the hood, and front bumper damaged, was driven like this for awhile though. The roof has a spot of paint chipped off about the size of a coffee coaster.

The interior is in great shape, with the exception of the smell from it sitting, and it is located in Lima, Ohio, about 1 hour and 15 minutes from either Toledo, Dayton, Or Columbus.

Make me an offer and I will get pics on request.

ZJ ('93-'98) lifts are cheap. Here's a 3.5" with shocks for $679...
