When was your last oil change, I guess it could be causing your last two probelms. As far as the first, could be a pulley out of line(?).

I JUST GOT MY OIL CHANGED 2 WEEKS AGO.......SINCE I GOT THE NEON JAN. OF THIS YEAR, I ALWAYS CHANGE MY OIL EVERY THIRTY MILES.....





JON

 

Then, I guess we'll have to wait for someone else, I've only had my neon for like 6 months. Btw, what year and trim is your neon?

HEY THANKS MAT.......I HAVE A 04' ........43K MILES ON IT......I DONT KNOW WHAT IS "TRIM"

 

every 30 miles? god damn!!! unless i misread that

changing your oil too often will strain your engine

 

Like if its an SXT or R/T

Mat

 

OH MY BAD!!!.....EVERY 30,000 MILES.......


I HAVE AN SXT

 

30 000???? GOD DAMN!!!! it's supposed to be every 3000-5000!!!

 

yea, if its every 30,000 that'll cause a knock and rough idle.
