Having a problem with 2002 Neon, for some reason there is water in the back floorboards even when its not raining! No water at all on front seat floorboards. Have had it to several mechanics and they all tell me this is impossible even when they see it themselves. Has anyone else had this problem? Help! This is driving me crazy! LOL

I have an '02 neon with 70k miles. The check engine light has come on indicating a large evap emission leak. I've changed the gas cap, pcv valve, spark plugs and wires and air filter. All of the hoses I can see look like they're in great condition. The car is used for city stop & go driving, so I use STP fuel injector & carb cleaner every other tank or so. Any ideas? Any one else have this problem?

jdp4011, I too have a similar problem to yours as well with my 02 neon. Not to mention that my trunk lets water in somehow. I figured that the taillight assembly is somehow letting the water into the trunk area via the inside lip where the trunk lid rests at. Is there anyway of covering the gap between the taillight assembly and the trunk? Theres about a 1/2" gap. I tried tape already, that didn't work out :P

re: thinking of buying 01 neon
My neon is a 2002 with 69k on it and has been flawlessly taken care of it's entire life, but has recently had several transmission problems. I wouldn't buy it if i were you.
