2004 Dodge Neon - Page 5 Questions & Answers
Engine light blinking
The check engine light flashes for a Misfire. Driving with a misfire can potentially cause damage to your catalytic converter. When your light flashes, you should get the vehicle checked out by a technician ASAP.
My car do not shift. check engine on and speedo do not work anymore
If your car is manual, clutch not releasing completely, loose or damaged shift linkage, insufficient transmission oil or oil is in poor condition, sticking or jamming gears, worn or damaged striking rod. Autozone, Advanced Auto, or O'reilly can scan/read your check engine code. Speedo faulty or vss speed sensor no longer works.
Dodge neon wont start, fuse indicator light on. We
check the fuse block out under the hood. the best way to check then is with a continuity tester. if it beeps its good. some times they are good but they are not seated good in the socket. Issues like this I always pull each fuse and test it then reseat it to make sure.
Power outlet
check fuses then check connection to the outlet
Neon Code P0344
I believe that the splice for the cam sensor is about 8 inches back in the harness. Power to the cam supplies several sensors. I have fixed a few that the splice was bad, There is very little room to work in to get to the splice, but it's not impossible to fix.
Car does not heat up
Check your AntiFreeze solution. You may be low and it is a necessary component for getting fluids to operate at the right temp. If your fluids are low, the thermostat may not open. Also, if the fluids are up to par; the thermostat could be defective, improperly installed (upside down) or the wrong type of device for your car. Make certain all hoses are tight and in place and the metal bolts on the engine are tighten. Lastly, the CAP is important. If the Cap is loose the pressure seeps out the sides. Make certain the Cap is on correctly and tight.
Catalytic converter problems
It depends on the problem. Have you replaced the O2 Sensors. Is your car running correctly, proper maintenance been done, filters, oil changes, tune ups, fuel system and induction cleanings. you may need a new cat
Code po622
Code 622 is for a problem with the battery warning light circuit or the alternator.
It will not shift at all, it feels like nothing is
Poped gearshift lever link to gearbox.Either under the hood,on the top of the gearbox or under the car behind the gearbox must track the link and tight the nut/screw/rod.Watch for the right position.Try the shift before starting the car.
What will happen to your car if a ground wire is
Whatever part, motor, or electrical load that ground is for will not work. For instance, a motor is an electrical load, put power to it -it won't operate without a path to ground after the load. A lighting bulb is an electrical load. Send power to it. and the bulb won't light, power will not travel through the bulb filament making it bright, without a path to ground after the bulb. Every electrical load has to have a path to ground, or it will not work-the reason for the term "circuit"-every wiring circuit (starting circuit, light circuit, ignition circuit, etc.) begins at the power source and ends at the power source. The ground completes the circuit back to earth (ground), and as you know, all grounds go to metal frame, and thus go back to the battery. If the circuit is not complete, the electrical load will not operate. See?
Code p0622 & p0344
It is probably something simple, but simple doesn't make it easy to find. Are you now only getting the code 0344 for an intermittent CMP? If still both codes, I would recommend a Chrysler shop to run extensive tests to see how they may or may not be related. It may not be so simple OR easy to find. If only the CMP code, can your scanner run live stream data on the sensor? Chrysler uses a DRB3 scanner in their shop to run such tests. Intermittent performance of the sensor may be a bad wire in the circuit, bad connections, possibly a problem with the pulse ring the sensor gets a signal from...Here are a couple of answers from experts that may give you some pointers. On this first one, pay particular attention to the expert's last response or two, when he talks about the CMP:
