[QUOTE="Lees, post: 56858, member: 729"] It's great that you have your Dad living near by so he can have someone look at the car. I was thinking the fuel pump as well. There's a way to check if it is loosing pressure by placing your hand over a certain part, but I can't remember which, as I saw my husband do it on our old Mercury Lynx. He helped me change the fuel pump on it, saying women should know how to do such things. Another thought that can cause sudden deceleration could be the timing chain, though your Neon is fairly new, but with current cars of the past twenty or so years, that doesn't mean anything. Stuff breaks much sooner, or so it seems. Usually a timing-belt will crank but not start, if yours is an overhead cam engine then try opening the oil fill and look inside the valve cover while someone cranks the car where you should see the cams moving. If you don't, your timing belt is probably gone. An acquaintance of mine said her transmission went out on her and her husband's 2007 Ford Escape, just six months after purchasing it. Yikes. I hope you can get it fixed without it costing too much. Regards, Lisa Marie [/QUOTE]
