You need to look for a few things. Search about the Forum about problems with early year neons... One major one is the headgasket.. if it hasnt been replaced, it will need to be... and if it has, make sure its been replaced w/ MLS gaskets, Also, when was the last time the water pump and timing belt was changed?
