My 2005 dodge neon won't start. It keeps acting

You might have a bad fuel pressure regulator, find the fuel pressure test port unscrew the plastic cap then push the schraeder valve a small amount of fuel will spray out start the engine let it run for a minute or two then shut it off, wait for an hour then press the valve again if it sprayed the regulator is OK if not it's leaking into the intake and needs to be replaced. Has the mileage gone down a lot recently?
