check the oil sending unit on rear of engine probly going in to the wiring harness

trannies bad

under the drivers seat

probably a bad ground or bad horn button.

The blown fuse could be the sign of a shortcircuit in the wires.Usually,a major fuse will take a larger charge and can heat the wires at the point of a shortcircuit.But,even so,it will blow long before major problems...Track the problem,remove the 30amps fuse,ceck the other fuses,ceck for wires shortcut (visual inspection of wiring,smells burn...)Worning:a missinterpreted wiring/fuse problem could give general shortcircuit wich can put the car on fire.If in panic,remove battery connectors (yes,u may use force if no other tool availabile)If car is on fire already just run away,explosion danger.

There may not be any spot to drain transmission fluid at the radiator. (All radiators have the transmission cooler built into the lower half of it.) You may have to let fluid out anywhere along the line that you can find to disassemble. Maybe look at the transmission itself to see if there is a drain plug on the transmission pan (like an oil pan)

have a load test done on the battery as it appears that there is a dead cell and the battery is no good.

your car jumped time

I have a 2000 dodge neon and it wont start the fuel injector are not spraying all 4 spark plugs are dry but the fuel pump is working when I start the car and push the fuel rail button to see if I am getting fuel it sprays but the injector are not I put a new relay in and fuse and nothing help me..................

Have the fault codes read. Replace faulty items. Use only genuine items as non-genuine replacement are not always compatible with the OEM fitted CPU units Check for accelerator position sensor fault.

Has anyone used a scanner to "watch" the computer interact with the sensors and ignition module ?Are you lacking both spark and fuel pressure ?

Should be under the dash near the steering column.

No bus means the computer, transmission module, and body computer are not talking to each other. Sounds like something is not connected, or not compatible.

Could be the coil, or a crank or cam sensor. The components would need to be tested.

yes it should suck the gas in not blow it out.

Power steering pressure switch is shaped somewhat like a spark plug (a bit too fat) threaded at one end and having a cylindrical plastic body at other end. It is on the hose connecting the power steering pump with the rack and pinion.

Was it programmed to the vehicle specificlu or another neon?

Yes unforunatly, unless you know of a good repair shop that has the proper equipment. The thing is you vehicle may run with just a junk yard "brain box" (powertrain control module or PCM) but it wouldn't have the correct info in it (VIN gor that vehicle or mileage etc...). WWhat's cuasing the vehicle not to run is the anti theft. Your vehicles keys have a transpoder or chip in it that goes to a "brain box" (Sentry key immobilizer module or SKIM) that in turn sends a signal to the PCM telling it that nobody has just broke into the ignition switch and is just turning it with a screwdriver or something. There is really no way to bypass it either. Wish I had better news but I hope this helped

DId you check position of headlight switch? Turn it?

Drop the trans panfirst thing you see is the valve body there are several screws holding it on they may be torcks headed wiggle it some it should come right out
