My 1997 Dodge neon won't start... please help me!!!

Ok the deal is that 3 weeks ago, my water pump went out and so I put it in the shop. Well, when it was in the shop it got the spark coil wires changed, the waterpump was replaced and the timing belt was changed and re-timed. Then on Friday when i got it out of the shop, i realized that i had a small whole on my radiator so i patched it temporarily with jb weld. So now HERES the problem... Saturday I was driving at about 50mph and my car shut down completely. I don't think i cracked the head because the is no water in my oil. i have also checked the fuses, they are all good. We tried to jump it off, but that didn't work either. The safety nuetral switch and relays are all good to. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

SOURCE: I have a 05 Dodge Neon got round 120500mi on it.

With a similar problem, but sometimes had fake explosions, you change the camshaft sensor which is near the valbula PCV. and stay well.

it is not the fuel pump. you have a bad fuel pressure regulator . it is located on the fuel rail. here is my link to my garagehttps://www.facebook.com/TedsRepairs

2001 dodge neon leaking water from water pump i was driving n it felt like my car went into neutral n engine lite came on n it died it will turn over but won't start what do i check

well to me it seems like you have either a intake manifold leaking or head gasket leaking also which is causing coolant to go into motor.check the oil and see if it looks milky or overfull.

2000 dodge neon will run on starting fluid once,then no start

You're either out of gas or you need a new fuel pump.
Roll the keys back to the 'off' position.
Have someone sit by the back tire and listen as you roll the key forward until the lights on the dash come on DO NOT CRANK THE ENGINE OVER.

If they hear the pump then you're out of gas, if they don't hear the pump your pump is likely burned up.

1997 neon, fuel pump fuse keeps blowing

I had a neon that did this in my shop. I found one of the wires to the Oxygen sensors was melted near the exhaust and when you would give it gas the exhaust would flex and short out the o2 sensor.

Fuel filter

The fuel filter for 93 to 99 dodge neon is inside the gas tank. it is part of the fuel pump. to replace it you have to replace the whole thing. the part is beween $280 and $340 depending whether you have a metal or plastic fuel tank. i had this same thing a week ago with my 97 neon.
