Update on this: found the problem as you guys said, corrosion damaging valve stem..... the shop cleaned it up, replaced the valve and it has been holding normal pressure ever since .....

thanks guys for the heads-up on the corrosion thingy!!!!!

that was what i was thinking, vacum leak.....!

off course for the valve cover and the spark plug seals and whatever else is needed ......how much ?


thanks,

It came to my attention that my valve cover is leaking at the rear, it is not a major leak, but still i will be fixing it soon. my question is: will a leaking valve cover (other than than the obvious oil loss) affect performance in any way ? it might be a dumb question, but i just wanted to know.......

excellent write up!!

how light bulbs did you need total? i want to do this with hvac area also ......

looks great !

just buy one from the dealer, and replace them one by one, if the one you change does not fix your problem, put back the old one in and move on to the next one.....but as i said, since you have more than the fuse issue, this could be completely something else bro, maybe one of the more expreienced g...

well I'm not sure how changing the gauge cluster lights affected this, but as snkmug said, it is one of the door ajar switches..... i had the problem when i first bought my car( used), i noticed that the dome light would not work, so i put a new one in and i would get fuse warning in the dash, i cou...

never mind, found the answer .......

00-01 non acr/rt are shaped differently than 02 base/ Acr/ Rt.......

This has been covered before, but i just want to confirm this......

fog lights for base 00-01 neons are different in shape from 2002 neons ...did i understand this correctly?

An offset lower than 35mm will place the wheel out and past the fender and an offset higher than 45mm will place the wheel too far inwards making it come into contact with the brake calipers and/or suspension this is what confused me ( from the original text).... according to the author, all fwd ve...

i'll take the wheel off this weekend, and maybe see what is going on.......

i'll let you know if i find something ......

thanks for the good input guys ....

i have the 16" 00-02 Rt rims .......

i remember reading over here somewhere that you could buy a PS belt for non-AC neons through dodge....

Ask BRR, he should have it ...

is fix-a-flat a good idea? or will it complicate this even more?

the only thing i did not get is how will a 35mm offset stick outside of the fender? i'm a bit confused on this one......

when the valve stems were changed, the tire shops did dunk the tire in a water tub.... they said the found nothing,,,,,,,

how would a bent rim affect this?

One of my tires keeps on loosing pressure faster than the others....i just bought these 3 months ago from tire rack, they are kumho's ecstas 711 (lousy tires by the way, good tread wear, but NOISY)...i always find my rear driver side tire pressure lower than the others, i don't mean flat or anything...

will the rage-tek "bushing" transfer a lot of noise and vibration into the car? how does it work?

^^^^^^^^

One of the most informative posts I've seen in a long time ....GREAT post man!

never mind,

just found this

thanks,

i guess i will need wiring harnesses for the rear doors also since the should be power locks?

how can i know for sure if my main harness has the necessary plugs?

thanks,

I'm thinking about dumping the manual windows and locks for power, what are the part numbers for door wiring harness(s), i guess i will need two front and two back? 2000 neon

what will it take to get them into my base 2000 neon? i understand i will need all the hardware, i'm just worried about the wiring..... how can i know if i have existing wiring? i do have have the fog light wiring, although i don't have fog lights...... I'm sure this topic was covered somewhere else...

what plug wires are those?

looks good!

when i hit the gas in my car, i sometimes here a whistling (hissing) sound... would that be a vacuum leak or normal? where should i start looking?


thanks,

What exactly is a vacuum leak when it comes to neons? what components does it involve? and what are the side effects/ problems caused caused by a vacuum leak ?

it leaked last time, i thought it was just a one time thing, took it in for an oil change last week. looked at today it is leaking today again....?

My oil drain plug keeps on leaking. it is a minor leak, what will cause this? and does this mean i need a new oil pan ?
