Re: Neon won't stay running

When our 97 was doing the same thing, it was because the Idle Air Control Valve wasnt working. It had apparently stuck in the closed position, or was clogged. The new valve cost about $60, and took less than an hour to replace. Hardest part was getting the little bolts out without breaking them off. I would advise using plenty of penetrating oil.
We replaced the throttle position sensor at the same time - since it was as old as the IACV.
