Hey hows it going everyone ? Ok I am Stumped . My Neon is a 2000 2.0 SOHC 16v SMPI,Automatic.
It studders in the low rpms ,and wants to stall and has stalled . I can't get the light to come on and it won't pull any codes . I figured a sensors must be bad but is just on the verge of going bad. Can't afford to just start replacing all sensors , and it's my mother in laws car so I swaped cars with her cause it's unsafe with it sputtering. It backfires through the air cleaner too. Went to the parts store to get a new fuel filter , just to check that of my list , and it was unservicable ( strainer type in tank) . Had them look up an Egr valve and there wasn't one for the car. I couldn't find the valve earlier when I was trying to problem solve just through reading a little on the site. Unless I am just completely missing it. So the parts store guy said replace the Map sensor or wait for the light . But from what I have been reading it sounds more like the crank shaft sensor. What should I do ???ARGGGHHHH//@#$%!!!! So I thought I would just put the info out otherwise I might still be looking for an invisible EGR Vavle! Any help will be greatly appreciated ! Thanks.

 

Usually when it spudders and pops out the air filter its a spark plug or spark plug wire. Welcome to the dodge forum. You may have better luck in the 2nd gen section.

 

Whupps I thought it was a first gen. I replaced all the plugs . Thought of the coil pack .

 

Plug wires? Did you scan it even without the light on? the cel.

 

otherwise if its just the low rpms it could be the tps.

 

Yeah I scaned it with the odometer reading and got 1684 .Which is Metering oil pump sensor circuit failure. Don't know what do do about it yet!? What is the firing order anyway I have change the plugs but one at a time,,,, wonder if anyone else messed with .
