    I had a small issue starting the car up yesterday, it took two cranks to get the engine running. Once it's on, it's fine.

    You'll have to hook it up to an OBD reader to find out.

    It could be something as simple as a loose gascap.

2005 dodge neon idle.

Get the code. Codes never tell you to change a sensor, they just indicate the problem circuit they are seeing. Only sometimes it is a failure of the sensor.
You probably need test equipment like a digital voltmeter. Maybe join a neon forum to find out how others solved the problem.

Where is the vaccum located on 2005 dodge neon

Sounds like you mean the problem could be a leak in the EVAP system. The computer vents the gas tank to the vapor canister several times while you are driving.
The engine produces vacuum when it is running.
Do you have the actual trouble code ?

Yes as long as it runs but would advise taking it in and having it checked out to find out why the light came on would be best.Depending on the issue and how severe the problem is it could cause engine or other drive train damage.
