Hello, and hope some one can help me out. I have a 2006 Neon with 54,000 miles and have had no problems with the engine but a couple of days ago while driving the cruise control kicked off and it started skipping very bad, often slowing to 20 mph. This continued with surges up to 55 mph and every where in between..I soon noticed the engine malfunction indicator light was on..steady not flashing...made it home and while in park it still skipped very bad..next morning it started fine and ran fine...no problems..took it to my mech and he checked for a code and came up with a p0339 I believe...but found no problem. I drove it the rest of the day and it worked fine..today after about a 150 mile drive it started again..same exact problem..any help would be appreciated..Thanks.

 

man another studder...this happens way to much...
i would change your plugs and wires...
with 54,000 miles it could be time for a change.GL!!

 

hmmm a 2006 neon...

 

he nust be confused cause i dont think neons were 2006 i thought srt-4 was the last make in 2005.

 

must be a pain to get parts for a 06 neon. Naw jp man, just do basic stuff. Plugs and wires. NO PLATNIUM PLUGS!!!!

 

there is no 06 neon so it must be an 05 sxt
oh well....

 

Hi,

Actually the last Neons made in September of '05 were sold as '2006 models.
Anyways..you'll want to change your plugs & wires, if you're due for an oil change
get that done as well. If your check engine light is on you can bring it to any
"Auto Zone" store and they will check it for free and let you know what code comes up.
Also you may have gotten some old gas mixed with new gas. when the tanker trucks fill the tanks at the gas stations, it mixes up all the crap at the bottom of the tanks which can cause problems if you fill up right afterwards. You might want to pick up a bottle of fuel injector cleaner and add it to your tank next time you fill up..it might help as well.

 

with the neons you can check the codes your self, with the key trick.

 

if my neon was skipping like a schoolgirl, i'd slap the crap outta her.

ohh and they did make 06 neons for a whole year in canada.

 

Change your plugz!!!
