I have a 2003 dodge neon 2.0l 16v engine that cranks over but will not start any ideas?

We just replaced the cylinder head because we had low compression in two of the cylinders. We now have codes 108, 118, & 123. We also have code 522 which was present prior to the head exchange.

P0108 (M) MAP Sensor Voltage Too High, P0118 (M) ECT Sensor Voltage Too High Engine coolant temperture sensor input above the
maximum acceptable voltage, P0123 (M) Throttle Positon Sensor Voltage High Throttle position sensor input above the maximum
acceptable voltage range, P0522 Oil Pressure Sensor Low Oil pressure sensor input below acceptable voltage. Sounds like you have an electrical problem, either computer failure or bad sensors. It's hard to believe that you gained so many sensors just from replacing the cylinder head. Disconnect your battery for one minute, then reconnect. Try driving it down the road.

SOURCE: 2003 stratus cam sensor replaced still unresolved

you bypassed the wires that connect to the sensors? that would have been my first guess the harness that plugs into the sensor. after that i would check the ground connection from the ecm. wouldn't hurt to check the battery posts too. if the battery posts are oxidized you can have all kinds of goofy electrical problems. hope that helps.

SOURCE: 99 5.2 durango :pulled codes for multipe missfire cylinder #5-7

Aloha We have just replaced all of what you have replaced, plus water pump, fuel pump, pcv valve and 02 sensor. Took it to mechanic today we had misfire on 1,2,6,7. Mechanic said that the 99 dodge is known for bad computers, he checked ours and works great turns out that it was the coil. Ours was jumping 1/4 inch and had a orange/yellow spark. it is supposed to have a 1 inch spark and be blue. This has solved our problems after 527 dollars later.
Check the coil!

Check the spark plug wiring . There are several places where the wires cross each other. These wire cross points MUST be at right angles to each other. Or you will have a misfiring problem.

It sounds like you're on the right track with the crank sensor.Does the car have injector pulse? A bad crank sensor will also cause no pulse.

It will start, but why won't it keep running?

If everything worked fine before the belt job, and now you have this problem, there are two possible issues that seem most likely:

  1. You don't have the belt on properly (cam/crank marks not aligned properly). One tooth off could allow it to start, but not run properly.
  2. During the belt remove/replace process, you failed to follow proper instructions and may have damaged the valves as this is an interference engine. Extreme caution when replacing the timing belt on these engine is critical to avoid internal damage.
First thing to do is perform a compression check. If the compression is not high enough and/or even on all cylinders, then you have one of these two issues. Checking the alignment of the crank/cam marks would be the next step. If they are correct with low compression on any cylinder, then you are looking at cylinder head repairs at the least.

2005 dodge neon srt4, chugs but wont start

I would do a compression test. Chances are the head gasket blew and thats how the coolant entered the cylinders, and how the hose blew. You may need a head gasket replacement.

2003 Dodge Neon won't start, battery is good and will crank, just won't fire and start? Any ideas what the problem could be?

Coils bad? Spark plug wires? Fuel pressure? Clogged injectors? ECU? Lots to check. Renting a code reader from an auto store may help.

Got a 1998 dodge neon with the 2.0 dohv 16v engine and it seems to burn oil on idle but goes away when rev it up or take it for a drive got any ideas?

your valve seals are worn or guides on the head. wha you need to do is take a compression test of each cilynder and when you are doing that check each spark plug for signs of oil wich means that is the cylinder with the problem so its either going to be the head or the piston rings

My 03 dodge neon has jumped time. What do I need

Most mechanics would pull the spark plugs and check the compression in the cylinders, but usually anyone with a trained ear can tell by the sound of the starter when cranking against the compression of each cylinder. Many of the smaller engines today have valving designed so that when they are out of time, the pistons interfere with them. That means two objects try to take up the same space at the same time and at minimum the valves bend. Worse case scenario would be upper head/camshaft damage and possible piston damage. That's pretty severe. You won't know until you get the valve cover off or maybe deeper. Hope that helps.
