Check and make sure the battery is good,have it load checked,then check the battery connections to make sure they are clean and shiny.No grey or black residue on the battery connection,or the battery terminals,where they go on the battery,this will act as a insulator,and the battery will not get charged up enough,or put out enough amps to crank the vehicle,if it still does this ,with all this checked and corrected,then the starer is defective,replace the defective starter with a new one.

i have worked on a neon before that had that same problem.so check the connections to your brake lights,stop lights,reverse lights,and turn lights.they could have a bad connection and its draining the battery.that was the problem i had so maybe your having the same exact problem.it had took me weeks to find that problem.i would jump start the car and it would run fine,let it sit for a couple of hours and the battery would be dead.so anyways ya check that i can almost bet thats your problem.

Do you have sufficient power to the vehicle? Do the lights work and radio? If not your battery is low, if yes than your starter solenoid may have failed. Since there is absolutely nothing, I take it you hear no cranking or igniting. correct?

1st check the connections at the battery for corrosion, clean and make sure you have a tight connection. Bring the battery to a parts store, they will check it's condition for free. It may be bad, and all you need to do is replace it. If they find it's not charged fully, bad connections at cables or alternator may be to blame.

IF ITS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WONT TURN OVER.CHECK BATTERY CABLE FOR TIGHTNESS AND NO CORROSSION. THE BATTERY VOLTAGE. SHOULD BE 12.5 VOLTS.IF NOT HAVE IT CHARGED AND TESTED.IF ITS GOOD HAVE ALTERNATOR CHECKED OUT.IF BOTH IS GOOD HAVE THE STARTER REMOVED TO HAVE IT AND THE STARTER SOLENOID TESTED.NOTE DUE TO LOCK OUT FEATURE.TURN OFF RADIO SO YOU WONT LOSE CODE WHEN YOU DISCONNECT NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE.

I don't even know where to start, Here is a link for you and hope it's going to shine some light at the end of the tunnel. it's going to give you instruction on to how to retrieve DTC codes and possible causes to why your neon is doing what it's doing.
Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help you out. http://www.allpar.com/fix/codes.html There are also links there for related problems to your neon too.

Well it could be the pump itself going bad or a short in the wiring, possible clogged fuel filter. There is a valve what looks like a tier valve cap on the fuel rail if you can get you hands on a pressure gauge and hook it up, you should see the pressure increase and decrease, if it does not start looking elsewhere.

It sounds to me as if it is a dud battery, you should get it checked before you do aything else, this would certainly cause the symptoms you mention.
