I was driving a 98 neon dohc around 35mph and without sputtering smoke or warning the car shuts off - suddenly.
The engine cranks but doesn't seem to be getting any spark. It sounds like its turning over without rotating the engine. All electrical work and I had about 1/2 a tank of gas.
Any comments or suggestions on what the problem might be will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

SOHC engines have a timing check plug in the cover you can remove. If the DOHC engines have the same thing, pull the plastic plug and see if your cams turn when the engine turns over. You can also see if it is still in time that way, so if the cams turn but is not in time, then your belt slipped some teeth and could cause the same symptoms - especially if it slipped a lot.
