When i check the map sensor it was covereed with oil, the spark plugs where covered with oil too. Im thinkin the head gasket is gone, i need help with this anyone have any suggestions

Neons have leaky heads ! Their head gaskets are junk, prolly one of the worst leaking heads every made besides the 2.3L HO Olds Quad. Do a leakdown test and a compression test, leakdown will give you better results but from what your saying i say head gasket its common on neons.
