Default ABS

I have a 97 Neon, and i dont know if it has abs. How can i find out. And if an intake say it only works with models without ABS, is it true.
Thanks

Drive your car down a wet road and slam on the brakes, if your tires lock up and slid, you dont have abs (note: Do it ona dead street without cars or people)

Which intake are you looking at? That might be true with some cars, but not our neon.

Another way to check if it has abs is follow your brake lines coming from the master cylinder. If they go directly to the wheels, theres no abs. If they go to an odd looking device, then your brakes, you probably have abs.

Good luck, Sean

well the motor mounts fit, and the guy at the junkyard said all i have to do it put the old sensors on the new engine. I was more worried about the exhaust manifold

Here is some info on the engine...

The second generation 2.0 litre SOHC (still designated ECB) engine is standard in most U.S. spec Neons. It is not available in the ACR or the R/T. The basic design is the same as the first generation, and shares all the internals with the original engine. The mounting system was redesigned to improve durability and NVH isolation, and the accessories were changed to a serpentine drive configuration. Relocating the airbox to the left front corner of the engine compartment shortened the path and reduced the intake air temperature. The intake manifold was retuned to provide slightly more torque with a peak lower in the power band.

Due to the various reconfigurations, very few of the external bolt-ons from the first generation fit the newer car; however, most items are now available in PL2k versions. Stretching the definition of "bolt-on", the SOHC camshafts are interchangeable between engines. This means that second generation cars can use the '95-spec SOHC cam (with stock valve springs) or take advantage of the Magnum camshaft (with the Magnum-specific valve springs) for added power. Aftermarket SOHC cams will also work in both engines.

2003+ 2.0 litre SOHC motors received lower compression to reduce noxious emmissions. I assume this was achieved with a new piston assembly, as the part number is different for 2003+.
