Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
Test mule is having a tantrum - no cam sensor signal. I guess there should be no oil there, but cleaning did not help. Ordered new sensor, tomorrow I will try to run with only crank sensor.
At lest that happened while inside the garage.

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
That thing behind the sensor must be my camshaft right? It is kind of supposed to spin right?

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
Timing belt is not moving while crank pulley is moving. That's an interference engine, so looks like RIP grey Neon.

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
Actually looks like that's fixable - the valves look good and there are no marks on the pistons. Kudos @ for convincing me to check before destroying the harness!

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
Funny thing - it was one of the #4 cylinder valves which was kind of leaking above average but we have found some marks after cleaning the pistons on cylinder #3. #3 valves were not leaking!
The car runs with new belt/HG & listed for sale on local CL.

Congrats on getting it back up and running again.
Just out of curiosity: how much did you list it for?

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
I hate this negative electricity. Positive stuff is OK, but the negative... There is no place for it. http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?p=1016987#1016987

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
Damn. If you have negative electricity going on, there's probably some positrons flowing in all the wrong directions.
So we believe the GND from battery to headlight is solid and yet the wipers start going when you turn on the headlights?
Then it can't really be a ground fault. If the headlights turned on, when you turn on the wipers, then it could be faulty ground on the wipers. But the other way round does not indicate a ground problem to me.

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
I am a blind idiot - there was a disconnected ground next to the passenger headlight. Once I've connected that group the wipers are no longer activated by the headlight. Now back on the road to get p0551 resolved hopefully second inspection attempt would be a winner. The nice NJ DMV people have failed my EMISSION INSPECTION for POWER-STEERING MALFUNCTION because... BECAUSE IT's a check ENGINE light

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
Power Steering fault could be caused by lack of signal from PS pressure witch. Short the switch and see what happens?
Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
My brother who at the time was in NH, once had to junk a car because the tach failed. When the tach failed it causes a check engine code, which did not trigger the dash light, but did trigger the state inspection tool. The issue was that the tach was clobbering part of a data packet on the transmission bus. Replacing the transmission controller and / or dash display were the only options, and these options had high probability of needing a re-program from a dealer. The car had no rust, and functioned perfectly. However he couldn't get a sticker on it, so he ended up having to junk it. Basically any options to fix it cost more than the car was worth, and it was lower cost for him to get a different car.
Good luck. Did you top off your windshield fluid? If not I bet they fail you for that

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
Just put both Miatas into the garage. I believe I can park three Miatas and I even have 3-ish inches of extra room for else!

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
You could get a car lift and stack them, Then you could fit 4 miata's in the garage

However for that amount of $, you could get a traditional 2 post lift.

Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
You should easily be able to pile them 3 high. So it *could* be a 9-Miata garage...
Re: 2003 Dodge Neon (#9)
9 miata ))))

Too bad I did not find this document back when I had my dodge, but an amazing 101 explanation on what is an ECU from A to Z!
