I'm not busting anyone's *****, but this is one of the reasons I am not copying and pasting the DCX stuff much on here, instead of using my own words. If you don't proof-read what it is saying, it can be a bit misleading to someone who doesn't know much about Neons, or cars in general, or to someone who is having a specific Neon-related problem and is looking for specific answers or ideas...
This one is probably a much less-involved fix that that... I would guess the coolant temperature sensor is a good place to start, then check the relays in the PCM... and go from there... I wouldn't worry about the manuals or scan tools, since you can complete what you need to do without them.
