Got a 97neon, Since it got to my house it wont start! Bought new gasket valve, fuel pump, battery and starter! I know I'm not wasting $, but it's money I don't have right now. Any suggestions on what else it could be?

 

pull the codes from the engine

 

Or do the ignition trick thing. ON OFF ON OFF ON, and count the flashes. Then let us know.

 

Do you mean check my CEL?(Check Engine Light) and look up that code or do I litteraly pull something from the engine?

 

The former.

Alternatively, run down to Autozone and borrow their ODB2 reader.

 

You can either just pull the codes with a reader, or you can turn your ignition switch (dont crank) until you see all the lights come up. Then just do this ON OFF ON OFF ON within 5 sec., then literally count the flashes I.E. flash flash flash flash flash pause flash= 51(running lean) or flash pause flash flash= 12 (Battery or pcm was reset),

I know its a lil wierd but trust me it works!!

 

oKay I'll try that, Thanks!

 

Let us know , we might be able to help. I know this forum has help me out a lot. [8D]

 

wow, never knew u could get the engine codes without the OBD2 reader...
