One week ago I bought a 2000 Dodge Neon ES. It had a rebuilt engine in it, that had only 44,000 miles on it, and ran pretty good. The dealer supposely "fixed" the heater core, so it was good to go. It drove excellent for a week, until this last weekend it started having problems. On my way to work, my speed all of a sudden started decreasing, and when I tried to push the pedal to go, it had no power at all to it. The check engine light came on and I pulled over. The check engine light popped up with the code for a bad coil #1. ...It took a few tries of starting to get home, and my dad replaced the coil with a new one. Then, last night, he test drove the car to make sure it worked, and it started jerking back and forth again and lost all gas power to go. Plus, it almost overheated and was glowing red under the hood. We took it back to the dealer to have them look at it. But, what is wrong with this car and why is this all happening? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! THANKS
