Neon wont start

If anyone cares the engine was horribly out of time. He's lucky a chrysler 2.4 is a non-interference engine, piston to valve interference at least. It was far enough out of time he risked valve to valve damage.

He never told me he had the timing belt off at some point. Since these engines are not known for jumping time it was the last thing I checked. I went through the entire engine side wiring harness. Checked all the sensor signals and grounds (at the sensor and pcm), moved the engine grounds to better places instead of a loose nut on the intake. Fixed the cam sensor that was wired in backwards, went through and soldered/heatshrinked/taped up the messed up wiring harness. Soldered in a new map sensor connector since the other one was so damaged. As far as I could see over heating had nothing to do this his no-start issue.

Fixed his fuel line going to the rail after it unexpectedly popped off when I bumped it unplugging the coolant temp sensor.

Also I can't remember if I tightened down the alternator "pinch" bolts. If you could stop back by I can tighten them for you. I was checking over everything when you stopped by and I think I lost my train of thought. If you want me to tighten them just give me a call at work.

Edit: I did re-time the engine and it runs fine now. Your tune seems a bit lean too.

sorry man, it was when u guys said the fuel pump didnt work...... but yea i think u had a brain fart or sumthin when puttin on the alternator belt cuz it was inside out and it was not tight and started slippin so my battery died... also the timing i think i might have jumped again cuz now it boggs down idk but ill try and stop by the shop friday

Yea right after I actually "looped" the belt on you stopped by, so no doubt I got distracted and forgot. I doubt it skipped timing, you tune seems way off just from when I was watching your wideband.

Oh and we are only open til 1pm Friday (Sept 3rd).
