if you cut a hole you could get exhaust gas in the car and when you drive on gravel roods you will get dust in car not recommended

go to the junkyard and look at a fuel tank for a neon and you'll know. or cut a large hole in trunk floor

Will it start when you give it a jump or install a good battery? If it does the problem is your alternator. What most likely happened is the alternator quit working while you were driving and the car was relying on the battery directly to keep it going in which the battery completely lost power and shut the car off.

Not likely. More likely is that the starter, or the starter solenoid is bad. This is the way it works. Turn key, car checks to see if all safety items are OK (in neutral or park, brake pedal depressed, etc), if OK then sends signal to starter solenoid to engage(it's basically just a magnetic switch), which allows the full power of the battery to turn the starter and engage the bendix, which engages the flywheel and turns the motor. If any of those things are bad, the car don't start. If it's the starter, the bendix will make a metallic click or thunk. If it's the bendix, the starter turns, but not he motor. If it's a fault in the electrical system, then no starter, and no bendix. If the battery is weak, the bendix may or may not click. To repair; 1; starter can be rebuilt, including the bendix. moderately expensive if done by shop. Inexpensive if you can do it yourself. Warning - it's a PITA to get it out! 2; selenoid can be replaced. Usually inexpensive, except for shop charges. It sets on top of the starter. 3; If electrical; this can get expensive as it is labor intensive to track down the fault, even if the part is usually inexpensive.

did you flush the system before replacing pump and thermostat? Check also the temp sending unit

The only difference that comes to mind is that the motor mount may be broke, when in reverse it rocks one way and keeps running. When in forward it rocks the other way and lets something short out, or messing with some electrical connection and quits.

wiggle check your main wiring harness across the engine with it running. its likely a broken wire or a rub through

On most modern cars, the dash lights, tail lights, and headlights are on different fuses, but are all controlled by the light switch. Check the fuses first. If all are blown, you have a major wiring problem, a short. If they are not, the problem is probably in the switch.

there is a power cable that runs from the battery to the pcm which is located right behind the battery...check that .. my neon did that to me and it was that cable.. hope this helps

IF ASD RELAY OKAY CHECK IGNITION FUSE IF FUSE GOOD COULD HAVE BAD IGNITION SWITCH.

have you checked the fusebox drivers side lower adsh as there is probably a fuse for each side of vehicle lights ets list of fuse location should be on the lid/cover.just a thought you have turned the light switch to 'parking light' position , there is also a fuse box in engine compartment worth checking keep me posted if you wish

are you talking about the wires that connect the car harness to the gauge cluster with the 2 big plugs?

Depends on the engine year. On modern, computer controlled cars, a bad egr valve will turn on the 'check engine' light and cause you to fail an emissions test. On older, cars, 70's and early 80's, it doesn't have much effect, but it is easy and cheap to replace it. On newer cars, it is essential, hard to find and a PITA to replace.

VERY CAREFULLY! Get a GOOD manual before trying this. Last time I wanted to, my car had NO room between fan & radiator; as soon as I read the words "loosen engine mounts" I knew it was beyond me, so I let the Pros do it.

sounds like your tranny is about to kick the dirt..
