Gents, the Neon is one of my other vehicles. I would ask that you check out floridaneons.org and see what the noise is all about. I believe you will be pleased. Any of these enthusiasts will be more than willing to help answer questions. Great bunch of guys/gals. I am remote (Portland, Oregon) but have my Neon currently at Mom's house in Jacksonville, Fl. It has issues, yet neonspeedrt and others have come to bat when I asked for assistance with remote troubleshooting. What more can I say; these folks will assist with data points and more.
btw - I recently had an occasion to help a nopn CEG'r out with his daughters Contour, broken in Provo, Ut. As in the floridaneons.org northwest forum, these gents in the CEG Southwest forum rose to the occassion in GRAND STYLE!!!
