Problem solved. I replaced intake gaskets, idle air control, none of this worked to stop the high or rough idle. Finally i found a leak around the intake hose that also connects to the throttle body. Was hard to find because the metal bands that secure this hose into place covered the air leak. After replacing the hose, problem solved.

I would have to hear what you're talking about but if it sounds like your car is trying to rev itself as though you were pressing the accelerator while you have it in park and idling, you may want to take a look at your air intake manifold and check for holes in it.

2001 dodge dakota sport with 2.5 engine idles high when I start it up, continues idling high, when pushing clutch in to change gears it idles extremely high

Does it do it if you disconnect the idle air control valve ?
You need to know if its a vac leak or if the computer is making the valve open too far.

2000 neon engine light comes on and off, stalls sometimes when at low idle.

Take it to an auto parts store that does free testing. They'll plug in a scanner to retrieve the codes for the Check Engine Light.

Look up the codes online to know whether you can fix it yourself.

DO IT SOON before something breaks causing expensive repairs.

2000 dodge neon idles fine but when in gear it chokes. Changed plugs and air filter.

Start the car in park when it is running go to reverse back up 10-15 ft then go to drive if it goes forward but won't shift out of 1st gear then it is a trans mision problem not a fuel delivery problem.

If you have an auto trans, and it is stuck in 1st or 2nd gear here is a link that might help there are 13 parts to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46VeVdRdkpc&playnext=1&playnext_from=QL

2000 neon .... stalls when coming to a stop

Try this procedure for stalls like this.
Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls) like yours, Get a can of spray intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
