Assuming your problem is transmission-related, (and not the motor mounts) - Do you have an auto trans, or a manual ??

Searching for mufflers, I came across a Mopar on line dealer that had the oem performance Mopar numbers listed for the mufflers for the neon through the current model line up. In all the decriptions was the Walker Queitflow and Walker PN. Now whether this was that dealer substituting the Mopar part...

I would try swapping the pins out, vs the whole harness. That's what I am thinking. Do you have the PCM pin out for both the '00 and the '01/'02? If not, I can see what I can dig up. I have a 2001 FSM..... But not a 2000 FSM.... Yet. :) At worst, you will just have two extra wires not being used. I...

Yes, I think that's it.

Yeah, I was thinking the 1st Gen DOHC muffler would be lighter too. The *[factory] DOHC muffler is actually pretty hefty. Weight-wise, it is probably still lighter than the factory R/T muffler, however. *This being said - I have an aftermarket DOHC muffler in storage, that weighs about half as much...

Hello, Everyone, I'm looking for input, for converting a 2000 (MTX) Neon over to the 2001 IAC. Reason: I recently picked up a 'Syked' PCM, from Kevin Bonnett. :D The 'Syked' PCM conversion, will only run the 2001-up 2-wire IAC. So, I am looking at converting a 2000 Neon, over from the 4-wire IAC, to...

Have you thought about replacing your R/T intake manifold, for a 'regular' plastic one ?? :idea: I don't know the weight of the Magnum intake offhand, but considering that the plastic manifold weighs next to nothing.... The Magnum intake, is noticeably heavier. Erik Steinmaier successfully ran up to...

I've been around both 1st gen R/T's and 2nd gen R/T's with the factory exhaust. I will say that the 1st gen DOHC muffler, is quieter than the 2nd gen R/T muffler. If you want quiet, go with the 1st gen DOHC muffler. Not only that, it is an excellent design - It flows very decent, despite being quiet...

To make sure i understand u correctly, I can remove and spray the inside of the iac (top piece) with the silicone spray and wipe it clean? The actual sensor doesnt come out of the aluminum housing does it? I suppose you could use the silicone spray to clean the inside of the IAC passage. I don't se...

So I've replaced my multifunction switch + connector, took the relay from the old multifunction switch and put it into the new one. This was done yesterday, lights all worked up until I got home from work today. Fuse blew once again. I checked all my bulbs, they all seem like they're in good condit...

@ the connector it's obviously 1 cable for ground and 1 cable for power.. It should be 8 total for power and 8 for ground. Question: Just to clarify - Do you mean that you are *getting* power, at only 1 wire, and getting ground, at only 1 wire - And that you *should* be getting power at 8 leads and...

what about cleaning it? the tb. I'd like to clean the inside before I try to install it. What cleaner should I use? The spring returns fine but, could or should I try to spray it down to loosen / remove the rust? For the inside of the throttle body bore..... I'd use some Silicone Spray, like the st...

I was looking through pictures and found this one....poor car. There were some 60-70 tornadoes reported along the storm front. Gramps you still on the ground? https://scontent-b-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1476297_10152089473357783_757372791_n.jpg :shock: Where was this picture taken ?? - Nick

On the factory throttle bodies - The 'cam' that the throttle cable attaches to, is different for MTX vs. ATX. The ATX throttle body cable cam, or lever, is shaped or configured differently, to allow for a faster opening rate. This is why putting an ATX throttle body, on an MTX Neon, can make it feel...

Well, I checked and I'm at 4.7 inches on the upper torque strut. Should I be checking the lower strut in any way? Also, assuming there aren't any other problems with the car and the alignment procedure was performed, would inferior quality mount and torque struts cause shaking at idle versus using ...

time for another update: now for headlamps: i bought a pair of eagle eye lamps off ebay, and immediately baked them open. :) https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1472002_10153476635955436_1682461473_n.jpg Just seeing this now. Cool !! :) Question - What temperature did you set the...

I want to do the alignment procedure, but the drawing in Figure 11 is not very clear to me. I'm not sure where to place the jack to rotate the engine and don't want to damage anything. I see that it's towards the front, somewhere between the oil pan and transmission pan... Would someone be kind eno...

I bought a pair of Vfiber fenders awhile back, and was wondering if this is how kt should look. I know it'll need prepwork, but why is the upper tab that connects to the enginebay facing up? You cant even connect it or line it up to drill holes. Is there a way to fix this or rig it up to work? http...

Anybody replace just the pulley and bearing, or just the tensioner arm with spring, pulley and bearing? These sub-assemblies are available from rockauto, napa, etc. Mine is making some horrible noise and I don't have a $400 wad of cash burning a hole in my wallet. It is possible to replace just the...

actually, Noone manufactures the 1/2 assembly infact I have talked to Chrysler today and was told this part wouldn't be out till 2014 First Quarter which im not sure what that means but its gonna sit another im guessing 4 months before the part is available.? That, sounds like both GOOD, and BAD ne...

Okay, so I checked the mounts and here's the deal: Upper torque strut: the rubber is cracked through on the topmost piece. The other pieces of rubber seem OK. Lower torque strut: The rubber seems very dry, possible cracking. The metal part in the middle of the rubber where the screw passes through ...
