Well, good news and bad news. I replaced the camshaft target magnet, about $12 from Dodge dealer. That didn't help. A friend of mine referred me to a local "Neon Expert" and the first thing he checked was the large plug behind the PDC and and the PDC itself and there was no significant corrosion or broken wires. So we decided to try disconnecting the remote car start unit. The car had this unit when I bought it used and it always seemed to work fine provided the car was otherwise running OK. Since I had tried everything else I decided to try taking that out, and you know what? My car seems to run 95% better. The car still stalls but it's gone from several times in one day depending on how far I drive, to now only once or twice in a week. I still have a check engine light with code 11 and 25 I think. I assume the thing I must check next is the timing belt which may make sense because if I try to do a WOT acceleration, when the engine gets, let's say over 5000 rpm (I don't have a tach, I'm guessing) there is a high speed miss that used to almost always cause a stall when I let off the gas....but now that the remote car start is off it doesn't seem prone to stalling. Any ideas anyone? Thanks....
