i have a 2004 SX RT and when i start my engine in the morning it seems to be missing on a cylinder, i was thinking it is a spark plug wire
it has new platium spark plugs and with the plugs it runs abit hot, i'm thinking about putting back some copper tips

 

check the coil and the wires and the plugs

 

switch to copper tips and see what happens. you arent supposed to put platinum plugs in neons for some reason

 

i am sort of having this same problem, however it only does it when my car has been sitting a while. I'll try to start it and it will take a lil longer than usual and sound like its having a lil trouble. is this similar to your prob ronnie? i changed my plugs, wires, and coil pack recently so not sure what it could be let me know what works for you, it sounds like its the same problem

 

dont use platinum plugs they make bad things happen to neons..... iridium FTW!

 

i do have iridium but it still has a little trouble, any other ideas?

 

yeah i guess i'll go back to copper spark plugs and see what happens,

 

what kind of damage can platumn spark plugs do to my engine?

 

yeah i bought copper tips spark plugs and new wires and she runs like a new car
