Have they run a compression check on the cylinder? if the rod is bent it will lower the pressure in the cylinder, bent valves of course can do this as well.

did you check for a touble code? there should be a diagnostic plug underneath your dash on your driver side. obtain a code reader that reads both obd I and II codes. with the '97 production there were rams made with 2 different systems. you can obtain touble codes by either plugging in an obd II code reader which was/is the updated method, or the older method of (with your key) turning the ignition on/off/on/off/on again and if a code is stored in the ecu memory, your check engine light will flash in a series. the number of flashes determines the code present. copy the number of flashes and look the values up in a trouble code manual. or find a website that features troble code definitions. if your truck is drivable, the cheap route is to go to autozone, or a similar auto parts store and ask an employee to plug in their code reader. they will do this for free. they should be able to pinpoint the problem if your ecu detected a malfunction. otherwise, did you perform a compression test? check all cylinders for good compression at least 100psi each. you can buy a tester at a parts store for about 25-30 bucks. when you installed your new cap and rotor did you check to make sure the rotor was seated properly and pointing in the right direction? ignition timing can be fouled up if you didnt mark the location of the old rotor and install the new one the exact same place. replaceing cap/rotor on the ram magnums are a ***** because you cant reach them easily. did you chack to see that the plug wires were install in the correct terminals? and again at the block??

the only thing i can see is that the timing is not at its place...

You need to check to see what engine codes have triggered the check engine light. You can bring it to a parts store for a free check of codes. They will plug in a hand held scan tool to the Neon's diagnostic port and check for codes stored on the cars computer. They can then tell what the codes mean and suggest how to fix the problem. If you can't drive the car, you can usually borrow the scanner if you leave a refundable deposit or charge card. Write down the code #'s and post them here if you have questions after talking to the parts store employees.
