Sounds to me like a Throttle Position Sensor. Have your Check Engine Light scanned, that'll confirm what I just told you. Lol! Also, the CEL (Check Engine Light) will come on for a number of reasons... Not just emmission issues. It could also be your EGR Valve, easy way to test that is unplug it and then start it up. If it is running smoother, then there's your problem.

All vehicles have EGR Valves. That's a federal regulation.

i tell you what alan, if you can find an EGR on any 00-05 neon take a picture of it and post it. i can assure you after 99, neons werent equipped with one. in fact after 01 they didnt even cast an egr port in the heads anymore.

I have a 2001 Dodge Neon with 120,000 miles on it. A few weeks ago, the check eng. light came on. I code checked it and got P0743, TCC solenoid. I did some looking online and saw a lot of people say that it COULD be as simple as removing the connector to the TCC, cleaning it with a plastic safe cleaner and replacing it, making sure it seats well. My question: would this be the correct first step? How can I get to the connector easily without taking half the engine apart? Any other suggestions? 1 Answer
