I do not have good news for you.
According to the Gates Timing Belt guide 2002 Edition, both engines offered in the Dodge Neon are interference engines.
This means that your engine has likely sustained sgnificant valve, cylinder head or even piston damage. Have you tested the compression?
It is probably least expensive to buy a used engine, change its timing belt and replace your engine with that one.

THERE IS NO BOLT HOLDING BELT TENSIONER TO FRONT ENGINE MOUNT..TENSIONER IS PART OF FRONT MOUNT BRACKET..AVAILABLE FROM DEALER..YOU MUST REPLACE WHOLE ASSEMBLY AS FAR AS I KNOW..CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL AFTERMARKET STORES,THEY MAY HAVE A KIT..ALSO CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER

the computer may need to be reflashed. if it is running then it is not a bad sensor. either of those being bad would cause it not to run.

SOURCE: how to replace belt tension pulley for dodge neon 2002

The power steering and A/C belt is tensioned by a tensioner pulley. Mine went bad and was "screaming" I thought it was the power steering pump and I replaced it only to find that it wasn't the problem. I couldn't find any bolts and deemed it too much of a problem for me to replace at home. The shop had to drop the engine and transaxle assembly from the engine bay in order to get enough room to replace the pulley. The problem with many FWD cars is having enough room to work so if you have to replace it, the engine has to move because you only have about two inches of room otherwise.
