Have your alternator tested at your local autoparts store if you are mechanically inclined and can remove it yourself. It is not very difficult to remove, and it is rather inexpensive to purchase a new one.
My speedomotor and gadges stop working often, and
Most of the time its not a fuse or wire anyways. The common problem is a bad interment cluster. If you buy a used interment cluster use caution because it was a very common problem and good chance you could get another bad one.
The service engine soon light
engine light is due to a fault detected by computer--not oil. Brakes can be OK and still make noises. You can get brake pads with less metal if they are bothering you. Have the car scanned at the parts store to find out why the engine light is on. Write down the codes and send them to us at FixYa for help in diagnosing fault. Let me know if you have more questions.
My 200 Plymouth Neon will no longer start. Just
Good Evening, unfortunately with the neon I have run into this before and it's not always the same in each case. First your lead battery cable ends I have seen go bad more than anything. Second items like your starter and your alternator can be tested at your local autozone or advance auto parts stores at no charge that way it is easier for you instead of replacing both of them you will know for sure which is at fault. Try the batter cable ends first and see if that does it. And if you have any other problems please feel free to ask.
Ok I just changed the
Have you taken the distibutor cap off ? if not, take it off and check for spider like tracks from the centre electrode to the other terminals, also check rotor arm for signs of melting, cracks etc.

no. 3 plug, wire or coil pack. Remove the plug wire one inch from the plug using a properly insulated plug wire tool with the engine running, if you hear a tick, tick sound then it's the plug if you don't hear a tick tick sound it means it's the wire or the coil.
How to replace a starter in a 1999 plymouth neon
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
This starter motor removal procedure is time consuming. An alternate
method of removing the starter would be to remove the engine fan(s) and
radiator, then remove the starter motor from the top of the engine.
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
-
Raise and safely support the vehicle.
-
If equipped with A/C, perform the following:
-
Use a floor or jack stand to securely support the engine and
transaxle assembly so they will not rotate.
-
Remove the front engine mount bolt from the insulator
and front crossmember mounting bracket.
-
Carefully lower the front of the engine, rotating the engine
forward allowing more space for easier access to the starter.
For easier removal, do not remove the wiring from the starter at this
time.
-
Remove the 2 starter motor-to-transmission housing mounting bolts.
-
Remove the starter and solenoid assembly from the transmission
housing. Position the starter accordingly for access to the wiring.
-
Remove the positive battery cable nut and remove the positive
battery and alternator output wire from the starter. The wiring is shown
in the accompanying figure.
-
Detach the push-on solenoid connector. Pull back on the slide and
push down on the rear tab to release the lock.
-
Position the starter vertically so the pinion end faces downward,
then remove the starter motor through the bottom of the vehicle. It may
be necessary to move the A/C lines aside slightly to maneuver the
starter out of the vehicle.
To install:
Clean the corrosion and dirt from the cable and wire terminals before
fastening the wiring to the solenoid.
-
Connect the positive battery and alternator output wire to the
starter solenoid post.
WARNING
It is imperative that the alternator output terminal be connected
to the positive battery terminal of the starter solenoid for proper
starting and charging system operation.
-
Connect the push-on wiring until it is fully engaged.
-
Position the starter face into the transmission housing. Support
the starter in the pilot and start the top bolt.
-
Attach the ground cable to the lower mounting bolt and start the
bolt.
-
Make sure the starter is aligned properly before tightening the
mounting bolts to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
-
If equipped with A/C, perform the following:
-
Using a floor jack to carefully raise the engine and transaxle
assembly to its original position.
-
Install the front engine mount bolt through the insulator and
front crossmember mounting bracket. Tighten the bolt to 40 ft. lbs. (54
Nm).
-
Carefully lower the vehicle, then connect the negative battery
cable.
Hope helps (remember rated this).
The codes that came up are P0172 too rich bank
P0172 means air-fuel ratio too rich, malfunction. How it works will take to long but what you have is a problem with either the fuel system or the ignition system. Without a scan-tool to view codes, live data, and run tests. It will take longer. You can look the engine over, see if there are broken vacuum lines, a need for a tune-up, damage to some part of the exhaust system. I wish I had more to say but it could be anything. You know you could have a stuck EGR valve. Hard to say, good-luck.
