Can excessive rain affect the neon's performance?

Asked by neon2013 Jun 16, 2013 at 07:15 PM about the 2002 Dodge Neon

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Bought used 2002 neon. Ran fine on test drive. Drove home through excessive rain storm, lots of water pooling on roads. When I went to drive later in the day, car ran but making a loud noise. Didn't appear to be related to motor, but to more exhaust issues. After about 24 hours after this, car doesn't appear to be making noise it was?????

We just purchased a used 1995 Dodge Neon and we are having problems with it. The problem is the car will drive for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and the engine begins to jump and miss. When this occurs, we stop the car and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes and then it will go for about 8 miles (10 to 15 minutes) and will start missing and jumping again. We took it to advance auto and they used a computer diagnostic machine and told us the ignition coil was malfunctioning, so we replaced it but it is still doing the same thing (missing and jumping). My wife says she smells a gas/fuel smell when it starts. Also, thought I had water in the gas tank, so I used dry gas but that didn't help either. Do the 1995 Neon's have a particular problem that sounds like mine? Thank you for any help you can give. 5 Answers

We are also having problems with the dashboard instrument lights and panel are not working. They also work on and off.
