problem #1

2007Nov 13

Neon 2.0L Sohc

  • Automatic transmission
  • 119,000 miles

i have been searching for the solution to my problem for a while and i have not heard
of a solution to the problem.
i have a 1998 neon 2.0 SOHC and when ever it is in park the idle is a little rough,but
when i put into gear it starts bucking and jerking.and when i give it a little gas it smooths out and when i slow down and come to a stop it starts again.feels like its only running on 2 cylinders.i have been told that it might be a bad EGR valve or a rusty fuel rail that may be blocking one or more of the injectors.
i have changed my plugs and wires and cleaned out the TB and a new air filter.
but before i changed my plugs and wires the car bucked and jerked and had a very bad idle in park.but after the change idle in park is pretty good.
so if any one else has had this problem and know what the fix is please e-mail me

Thanks
