Thanks I went to gm there the ones who told me about the problem. They told me that because there's a law they can't disable the system.

For whatever reason there's a law that prohibits them from touching it they told me all they could is test it the old fashioned way. Way to expensive.

We just purchased a used 1995 Dodge Neon and we are having problems with it. The problem is the car will drive for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and the engine begins to jump and miss. When this occurs, we stop the car and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes and then it will go for about 8 miles (10 to 15 minutes) and will start missing and jumping again. We took it to advance auto and they used a computer diagnostic machine and told us the ignition coil was malfunctioning, so we replaced it but it is still doing the same thing (missing and jumping). My wife says she smells a gas/fuel smell when it starts. Also, thought I had water in the gas tank, so I used dry gas but that didn't help either. Do the 1995 Neon's have a particular problem that sounds like mine? Thank you for any help you can give. 5 Answers

We are also having problems with the dashboard instrument lights and panel are not working. They also work on and off.

I went to the mechanic who changed the ERG valve in and reset the code. He said its a generic code and he couldn't do anything else. I went to the toyota dealer who said they would have to change the vavle again since that's the code!!! the smog shop couldn't help they don't give detailed info on 2000 and above vehicles. So I need to pass smog and no one can help. it could be anything with the PO 401 code. I need to find out what it is and fix it. it's a 2000 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder. 7 Answers

I have a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, V8, AWD, My problem, I think is in the computer? When I shut the engine off and try yo exit and lock the vehicle, setting the factory alarm system it won't do it. The digital display says that there is a "DOOR AJAR". I have checked all the doors as bet I can and they appear closed. BUT the interior lights remain on and the alarm will not set because off the ajar message. Am I missing something? Is the computer having a brain cramp.? I can get the alarm to set if I manually shut off the interior/dash lights too off. then it will work but no interior lights on the dash. This is driving me nuts. Can uou help?Thanks,John 12 Answers
