Dodge NeonThe sport compact car that took the world by storm. the Dodge Neon. Depending on the trim level you get, this sporty ride has something to offer everyone.
I have a 03 dodge neon sxt I was driving and the car jerked hard and i slowed down and it was fine started accelerating again and it worked however when I stopped it wouldnt accelerate engine would roar but car didnt go. You could here something ratteling under the car. Car wont move while shifimg from park to drive you can feel it shift however it only goes 2mph what could be wrong
Well, it is now no longer possible to pull codes to tell you what the problem is. Best guess at this point is something wrong in the ignition/electrical side of things.
my check engine light will flash before car is turned over but then shuts off

I misunderstood what you were saying then. Are you saying that if you turn the key to on and leave it there, the light will come on? It is supposed to do that, and then turn off when you start the car. It is a self-check by the car. As for the car not moving, it could be an electrical problem or a mechanical problem. It depends what's causing the problem. It could be a bad sensor or wiring, or it could be a mechanical problem. It's hard to say for sure over the internet without any codes. When you disconnect the battery and reset everything, it erases the codes. The codes will not come back until the car is driven again, which seems unlikely since it won't move.
