I have a 2005 Dodge Neon. Yesterday my grandson went to crank it and it didn't want to crank. After a few try's he held the key and it finally cranked. He went to leave school and it acted liked it was going to cut off, skipping real bad. He pulled over cut it off and back on. Took a few try's to get it crank again. It skipped all the at home. Changed spark plugs 2 months ago.

 

Check engine light on? Cranking is the act of "turning over" the engine while attempting to start. I assume you mean the engine turned over and finally started.

 

Yes the check engine light is on. Yes the engine finally turned over and started.

 

What is the code? That will tell you what's wrong.
