Re: 2005 Dodge Neon SXT is DEAD!!!!

STILL NOTHING!!!! I purchased a used computer yesterday, but no luck. Today I bought a used fuel pump and still nothing. I used the tests on the website jpb53 recommended on the camshaft position (it is pulsing 5v when the crank is turned) and the coil to see if it has 10-12v, it had 10ish. I would test the signal to the coil from the computer, but I dont have a led tester so I will be getting one of these. I dont understand why I would need to test for a signal from the computer to the coil. The plugs wouldn't be firing if I didnt have signal from the computer right?? Oh, last night I also took off the IAC and used a finger to choke the vacuum coming from wherever that line runs too, but it made no change. I also unplugged the IAC and tried to start it. Whats wierder, last night it fired 3-4 times and would rev up and then die, I had only been getting the "trying to start" scenario. At this point I am starting to wonder if I have some wires bared somewhere causing signal errors or shorts to the computer?? I have never had such an issue with getting a vehicle running and I have worked on alot of cars. Im at a loss here.
