#1739 of 1758 OIL ON MY PLUG by notgettinit Feb 23, 2009 (12:36 pm)
I HAVE OIL ON MY PLUG AND NO ANTIFREEZE IN IT. I ALSO ONLY SEE SMOKE JUST FOR A SECOND WHEN IT STARTS, THEN SHE RUNS FINE. I CHANGED THE VALVE COVER GASKETS AND STILL SAME PROBLEM. I GUESS IT COULD BE BENT PLUG TUBE OR MIS-INSTALLED GASKET BUT I JUST DONT THINK SO. ONCE IN A WHILE I SMELL ANTIFREEZE BUT JUST A LITTLE. I AM THINKING OF SENDING IT IN FOR NEW VALVE COVER AND GASKETS, POSSIBLY A HEAD JOB AND OR ? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Replying to: fman (Apr 30, 2008 9:31 am) The cars are exactly the same in dimensions etc. The only difference is the name plate .That was the main reason they dropped the Plymouth name .Total redudency w/ product .Years ago a Plymouth was a Plymouth and a Dodge was a Dodge .The 2 companies had different vehicles based on the same platforms such as Valiant and Dart ,but they were different in look and design .Very many shared parts but not the same car . Towards the end the cars were just re-labeled for each company . One funny thing though I have to mention about the Acclaim and Spirit models .Even though these 2 cars were almost identical in body and look (except for exterior lighting) the Plymouths always rated higher in crash tests .I don't why .

Replying to: lilimpatient (Mar 25, 2009 3:51 pm) If you haven't changed the timing belt and put a new pully and water pump, than that is what to do right NOW! The neon engines valves will hit the pistons and bend valves. Also when you ever remove the head you MUST buy NEW head bolts. A good valve job with new bolts and labor will run you $ 600. + I did all the things above at 92,000 miles and at 197,000 miles the pully broke and the belt snapped and so we had to do everything. Beleive me that sucks!   farout.

Replying to: liz_77 (Nov 22, 2006 3:37 pm) Hi, Liz... I have the same problem, except that it's only the driver side door. I realize that you had posted this nearly two and half years ago, but I was wondering if you had managed to fix your problem? If you wouldn't mind emailing me, I'd appreciate it. Thx.

#1745 of 1758 Electrical Problems w/ locks & dash by juniorproducer Apr 13, 2009 (6:50 am)
I have a 2000 Plymouth Neon with 101K miles. Have had this current problem for the last 6 mos. but has been intermittent and gradual. My automatic locks are constantly clicking while I drive, above 30 and 40 mph. My dome light also turns on occassionally while driving and my dash reads that a door is ajar, even though it is not.   Any ideas?

Replying to: striker223 (Apr 09, 2009 11:52 am) I had a similar problem w/ my neon ,however I don't have power locks .The dome light and door ajar would come on intermittantly . It turned out to just be the switch that controls the dome light .It was out of adjustment .Just check to see if its loose and try and adjust it so it goes all the way in when the door closes . Its been a few years since so I don't remember how its adjusted but all I think you have do is simply turn it .Let me know if this works and good luck !! Love my Neon ,145 ,000 and 85 miles a day at between 65 and 90 mph hasn't let me down yet !!!

Replying to: juniorproducer (Apr 13, 2009 6:50 am) I believe this MIGHT ne your instrument cluster. I had some simular things and it was replaced that ended the problems.   Now my radio quit working no electricty getting there and the fuse is new.   Here is an expensive lesson I have experienced. At 90, 000 miles I replaced the timing belt and put on a new water pump. I now have 197,000 miles on it. The timing belt pully broke the timing belt broke as well, the engine stopped. I had it towed to a local shop. The owner said he was sure at 50% he could replace the pullu and the belt and get it going, if the valves were not bent. Itook the chance and I was aware it might not work. Well nearly $400. and the valves are bent. Now whenI fix it, the cost will be more than $600. I was wrong to take such a gambel. So if you have not had you timing belt and water pump changed do so 101K is a belt just about to brake. Hope this helps.   farout
