CEL=Check Engine Light and the two above are correct.

 

yea ok. my check engine light is on but the code being thrown is EGR valve.

 

i had the same thing happen to me, it just wnt away after a couple days, i was working on it tho a lot that week, so i would agree with the ground...

 

ill bet its the CAS or cam angle sensor when they begin to go out they will shut the whole car down leaving you with just the interior components working aswell as lighting and such it happened to me not so long ago and would act exactly as you described! sad part is the sensor is about the size of a large cockroach and cost about 70 bux at any local auto parts store its located on the passenger intake side of the head! the only other thing is it should throw a cel like the others said! another thought is go buy a obd2 code reader check your car after you've writen the codes down return it! hope this helps!!!!

 

thanx guys. im looking into both things. the cam sencor has some greas around it so im looking into it more and the battery ground wire is all frayed do im fixing that.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

+1 that is a typical problem in the neons with the 420a, ive had a few of them at the dealership doing that. also a few avengers too

 

well i dont think its the cam sencor seeing as it happens now when i use my turn signles. i think there is a short some where. i have no clue.

 

Is it a manual? I had this problem and whenever I put in the clutch, the RPM's would plummet to zero and the car would stall. After much money spend on diagnosis, it turned out to be too much carbon buildup in the system.

 

You should also check the MAF. A lot of time when they are going bad, they can not adjust to the air flow as it slows down and stall out.
