HELP! My 2000 plymouth neon wont crank and no mechanic i bring it to can figure it out!!

My 2000 plymouth neon will not start, nothing works on it. It wont jump off or start by popping the clutch. I drove it to a mechanic to change the motor mounts and when he was done it wouldnt crank. He said its nothing he did and refused to fix it. I have had it for 4 years and never had a problem with it starting right up! So i took it to another mechanic and he checked all the wires, changed the computer and the coil pack and it still wont crank. The computer is reading and saying nothing is wrong with it. I NEED HELP!!! This car is my only means of transport!!

If the headlights and dashboard lights are working but the vehicle still does not start, the ignition switch is most likely the problem. or a bad wire from switch. If your battery checks out, but the starter is still silent, it may be a faulty ignition switch. Turn the key to the on position (not all the way to start). If the red warning lights on your dash don't light up (and your battery connections are clean), the ignition switch is bad. If they do light up, turn the key to the start position. The dash warning lights should turn off at this key position (most cars). If you're not sure, turn on the headlights. When you try to start the car, the lights should either dim (a lot) or turn off completely. If they do, your ignition switch should be ok. If not, the switch will need replacement. check the wires to starter and see if you have power when car is switched on, do this first! good-day! if it cranks but does not start. check to see if spark and fuel, and check all fuses also.

SOURCE: okay, thanks for reply earlier...here's more info...maybe you can help

the valve cover seals like to leak and fill up the spark plug tubes with oil. so 1st thing, you should pull the spark plug boots to check, the pull and inspect the spark plugs.

next.
pull spark plug boot off of the #1 spark plug. Insert a new spark plug into the spark plug boot. Ground the plug to the engine.
Crank the engine and look for spark across the electrodes of the spark plug.

then reconnect the boot the the #1 plug, pull the boot off of the #2 plug repeat the test, then do #3 and #4.

if all cylinders have no spark/ weak spark, its most likely a bad coil pack.

to check the coil pack:
Measure the primary resistance of each coil. At the coil, connect an ohmmeter between the B+ pin and the pin corresponding to the cylinders in question. Resistance should be 0.45 - 0.65 ohm.

----------------------------------
Measure the secondary resistance of the coil between the towers of each individual coil. Secondary resistance should be
11k - 14k ohms

SOURCE: 1998 plymouth breeze won't start

I guess my problem was the new crank sensor has failed.
Replace crank sensor again , it has fixed the problem.
Not too sure if this was any help or not.

Neon Plymouth 2000.Replaced the starter,the ignition switch,replaced the battery,relay fuses.it started one time and then now nothing.Please help me trouble shoot.

Hi Susan , when you turn the key to the start position does the starter engage an spin the engine ? If yes , pull a spark plug wire an check for spark , do you know how to do that ? You can buy a spark tester at the auto parts store or stick a screw in the spark plug boot a hold it near ground .( metal on the engine ) Have someone crank the engine . Does it have spark ? If not could be the coil or crankshaft position sensor . Watch this video !

Got 2000 dodge neon will start when cold run good but when motor warms up won't start

Nikki is the engine light on, are there any codes,have you had a tune up or any other work done lately.when you say it won't start when warm(do you mean engine will not turn over, or does engine turn and refuses to fire.
If I had to guess failing fuel pump, they tend not to build fuel pressure when ran a while(warmed up) and when left to cool build somewhat better pressure.

You may need to replace the cable end that joins the ground cable to the top starter bolt.Useing booster cables from the ground post of the battery to the engine block should confirm this.
