I have a 96 Neon 2.0 SOHC,I just redone the head and put a new timing belt on it,plus new cam and cranck sencers.It started the first time and ran for about 2 minutes and then stoped running.And when I try to start it the plugs fire 1 time and then wont fire aftere that.Could the coil gone bad even when it was working just fine before all the repairs?

 

Yep, thats possible. Check it. If you have a Haynes manual, it tells you how in there. I would just buy a new coilpack, dont fart around with the ones from a junkyard. You are liable not to get a good working one in my experience.

 

Thanx I'll try that.But what Im afraid is the cost.Everything on it has cost $80 or more.

 

make sure your crank sensor isnt cracked, and checkit, just because its new doesnt mean its a good part...

 

yep id check the crank sensor and if ur gonna spend 80 bucks for a new coil id go to autozone and have them order u a msd blaster coil its 10,000 volts over stock...but make sure u know what pins u have round of flat most sohc ive seen are round but check to be sure

Thats what I orderd today.I'll lrt you know if it worked or not as soon as I get it...thanx everyone

 

ok heres whats happening now...I just put a new coilpack on the car and when I started it spit out the intake so I cecked the timing belt and reset it and theres no fire.Now Im looking at the PCM.

 

I installed a new computer and still no fire.

 

OK....I used a test light to see if power is getting to the coil and its getting power to it but it wont fire the plugs.Now I am thinking that the coil isnt grounded so I grounded it and still no fire.but heres the list of what I have done...put new crank and cam sincers and a new coil and new plug wires plus a new PCM. theres a code 12 witch is just that the battery has been desconnected since the last 50 key cycles.

 

are you gettin reference signal to the coil? if you have that plus power the coil is most likely bad
sounds like you could have a wiring issue
