Shakes or Wobbles problem
2000 Dodge Neon 4 cyl Automatic 140000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there. My 2000 Neon is having an issue with hesitation. It nearly stalls when I'm trying to take off from a light or stop sign, and while I'm sitting at the light it shakes and jerks and seems like it's going to die. I thought I had this fixed with replaced spark plugs last summer, but it has come back. The problem is also exacerbated when the A/C is running. To get going from a stop I have to pump the gas a few times, or I ease off the gas completely and cruise until it "catches" and then it will accelerate just fine. Any ideas?
Thanks, Eryn

sounds like your idle air control valve is acting up, I would have it tested/and replaced.
