Engine cuts out on my Neon

Hi all,



Last night as I drove back from work I noticed my speedometer behaving erratically and then it stopped working completely. Then this morning as I drove to work I found that as I shifted down from third to second the car engine would cut out completely. This happens mostly when I am slowing down to turn around corners etc. I am not sure if the speedo problem is linked to the engine stalling but since they happened a day apart I'd be inclined to think so.



Any ideas what's going on? I am taking my car to an auto-mechanic tomorrow morning and would like to know what I'm up against. I hope it's not too expensive. :-(



Thanks

What Year.

A symptom of the power managemanet computer failing sometimes effect the speedo.

It may be covered under the emmission warranty so make sure you ask.

I had a Omni once that had the same problem and the dealer was going to charge me for a new computer till I told them it should be covered under that warranty and it was.

Chrysler engine computers almost never fail, and the original poster's problem is probably nothing more severe than a faulty vehicle speed sensor.

Could be a speed sensor, if the vehicle has cruise control does it work?? and when the car cuts off does it start right back up?? Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech
