Top 10 2005 Dodge Neon Questions & Answers

It is the Intake Air Control motor (IAC Motor). Replaced mine and have not had any other problems.

If the motor is stuck, you can probably hold the switch to the forward position, and smack the roof. This may allow the motor to start working. I don't think there is any way to do it manually.

The high pitch sound may come from the brake pads as metal parts hit the disc to signal the owner that it needs change. The metal parts gets exposed when the pads have worn out. The brake also has a hub to cover the disc. See if the metal plate is hitting it but this issue would appear when the wheels are in motion. Check if it is the belts, have the tension checked out. Other than that the bearings are the other items on your wheel that could cause a high pitched sound when you car is in motion.

actually there are 3 like he said the tranny mount is also the motor mount.. go figure. right upper right lower and right mid...

spray some WD 40 on the latch. should do the trick. i had that problem with my sunfire in the winter time

There are 4 motor mounts on a Neon. You need a jack to support the bottom of the motor with a block of wood on it. 2 are easily replaceable, but there is one that goes to the middle of the front of the engine that is tricky, plus the transmission mount is accessed after removing several components, like the battery and tray. It may be better to have a professional take care of those "tricky" mounts.

ok shade tree, here, remove power steering unit, motor mount, on pass side , take bolt out that goes to motor- thru fron the inner fender its behind plastic plug jack motor as high as possible and get to bolts out that are on plate the tensioner is monted to then drop motor as low as possible and remove last bolt to tenioner plate, wrestle the plate out in order to change tentioner its a real fight , but nessacary.

P0016-CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT TIMING MISALIGNMENT
Does the car run? If it doesnt run it may have slipped time.If it does run, use a scope if available and check for a weak or erratic signal from the cam and crank sensors. The cam sensors routinely go out on these cars but a bad crank sensor can cause the code also.

i simply pour in one quart at a time, wait 30 sec and check the dipstick. when it hits full line, stop pouring :)
