I changed the timing belt on my 2005 neon (115k miles) today. Immediately afterward it started right up. I was letting it run to get up to temp to check coolant level when after about 4 minutes it shut off without warning. It will not start again. It turns over at good speed, but will not fire up.
I took it all apart again to check the timing belt and everything appears to be good. The marks are lined up. I looked at all the wires I could see to mark sure a connection had not been dislodged during the timing belt change, but am unable to find any problems. Fuses all appear to be good. Using my spark tester it seems that I am getting poor/intermittent spark. I put in new wires/plugs/coil in the last 60 days. Any suggestions? thanks, Jeff |

Talked to a buddy and he recommended I check the cam shaft pin. I neglected to tighten the bolt on the cam shaft and it sheared the pin.
Once the engine heated up enough to cause more resistance it sheared the pin. When I pulled it apart last night to check everything I didn't pull the cam gear so I didn't notice the pin.I pulled it all apart, drilled out the pin and replaced everything. It now is running great! Luckily the cam shaft and crank shaft sensors shut down the engine before any damage was done. |
