If it just started doing that, check your radiator coolant level, if low, take off rad cap, start engine, turn heater on, and add coolant as needed, but leave cap off until rad cooling fan comes on & off 2 or 3 times at normal operating temperature before you put cap back on, to bleed out the air. When did it start & what have you had checked if anything?

SOURCE: 1997 dodge dakota v6 engine wont start replaced

turn the key to the on position a see if you can here a buzzing sound around the fuel tank,if you don't hear a sound then. (be very careful while doing this) with the key off take a fuel line coming from the tank loose,make sure its pointed away from you and turn the key to the on position,see if any gas comes out,if not then your fuel pump is probably bad.

SOURCE: 2000 dodge neon that blows cold air all the time

hi, you could probably start by bleeding the air out of the radiator, thats not to hard and is easy to narrow out,
if the heater core is cloged you could try flushing it out, you could take both heater hoses off at one end and stick a hose in and check if there is flow through it, if there is good flow then check all vacume lines etc... if you know where the right line is you could try and overide it by borrowing a vacume line from somewhere else or bloing into the hose to see if anything changes...

SOURCE: rear a/c heat vent do not work

Sounds like the flapper valve for the rear heater/AC core is not doing its job to send the air through the AC core when called for.

Another clue of this is the fact that the air is coming out on the lower vents when it should be up high fro AC.

Have someone listen back by the fan inlet in the back usually on the right while you switch between AC and heat to see if they hear any noise or change in air flow.

Worst case is that the interior panel there has to be removed to service the assembly behind it.

2000 Dodge Neon shudders, dies when at stop die then shakes to when taking off.

Clean Throttle Body and MAF (mass air flow sensor). Classic symptoms of bad idle. The throttle body isn't shutting properly and letting air in. At highway speed it is fine because the throttle is purposely open.

How does the air ratio work on a 2003 Dodge Neon 2.0 litre

Intake air flow meter and air intake temp sensor give ECU information; then coolant temp sensor has big influence on fuel mix, throttle position sender tells ECU what driver wants, then O2 sensor(s) do fine trim to fuel mix.

My dodge durango 2000 dies when a/c is turned on

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control

I have a 1995 dodge neon cranks but will not start. any ideas. i have replaced the crank and cam shaft postion sensors. replaced the starter. fuel pump is fine. injectors are pulsating. car occasionally...

Have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure? What is the fuel pressure spec? Any applicable trouble codes? You may need to check cylinder compression?
Have you tried starter fluid? There are safety issues using any type of flammable spray. Safety is your responsibility. Some people use a little propane. I take air duct loose from throttle body, open throttle valve, spray just a little. If the engine tries to hit off the spray, it's a fuel issue in my opinion. Don't spray on any sensors.

Have you tried removing fresh air intake assembly and spraying a shot of quick start, or WD-40 directly into throttle body intake opening ? If engine starts for a short time then dies, you'll know fuel delivery related problem.

After sitting a couple of weeks my 2001 dodge truck will start but will not idle. it dies if i don't stay on the gas. what's the problem? thanks.

Check for a vacuum leak on the hoses and intake manifold. Check the mounting bolts for the throttle body on truck for looseness. Take some spray injector cleaner and spray inside the throttle body to remove any build-up inside. If everything is good then remove the IAC (idle air control valve from the backside of throttle body) to check for carbon bild up and possible faulty valve.Once removed if the little pintle is sticking out more than 1 in. then replace valve. Hope this will help.

1999 dodge neon gas pedal won't accelerate sometimes unless you push down really hard on pedal

Try cleaning the throttle body. Use a throttle body cleaner and do not flood the throttle body with the cleaner. You will have to open the throttle up and spray around the butterfly. It most likely carbon buildup and causing the butterfly to stick when you accelerate. A couple of short sprays will be fine, clean with a cloth. You will see a lot of black buildup flow out of the throttle body. After you wipe dry, let the intake hose stay off for a few minutes for the throttle to dry out.

I have 1995 geo tracker. cranks over but doesnt start. would it be coil or fuel problem?

You need to conduct tests to be sure where the trouble is.
1. Spark test: remove the number one spark-plug, and hold it to the engine block. then ask a friend to crank up the engine..
2. If the system is good, you should see steady blue sparks. If you don't, then you would have to work on your ignition system.
3. Fuel test: get a can of 'starting fluid' or the common 'choke and throttle-body cleaner'.
4. Unbolt the clamp holding the air-intake hose to the throttle-body. Pull back the hose to expose the inside of the throttle-body.
5. Spray a good quantity of the cleaner into the body.
6. Re-attach the air-intake hose, and try to crank up the engine again.
7. It will show some hesitation, but keep cranking until it fires up, and able to idle.
8. If the throttle-body and the manifold are dirty, the choke cleaner should help.
9. Please get back to me if necessary.

Fuel injectors stuck wide open?

most likely it is an intake leak somewhere after the throttle body. check the intake manifold where it bolts to the head and see if you can find carbon expulsion around the intake channels of all 4 cylinders. if you do see then most likely the gasket is leaking. What i do is to take a can of throttle body cleaner and give little squirts around where the gaskets are on all intake manifold areas especially where it attaches to the cylinder head. Be carefull not to spray onto the rubber parts of engine. You do this while the car is running and you listen very carefully for any changes in the way it sounds. If you do hear something change everytime you spray the cleaner then you most definitly have a leak. Change that gasket. I hope this helps. Oh i forgot to ask if you have any check engine lights on.
