Problem overview

Some Dodge Neon owners report experiencing hesitation while driving, along with high fuel consumption, which may be attributed to several issues. Engine hesitation during acceleration and loss of power can indicate problems with bad ignition coils. Additionally, excessive fuel consumption is often a sign of faulty ignition coils or spark plugs. Misfires can also contribute to both hesitation and increased fuel usage. Issues within the ignition system, including defective ignition coils or spark plugs, can lead to poor engine performance. Furthermore, a dirty air filter may negatively impact engine performance, resulting in higher fuel consumption. To address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to check the ignition system components for wear, ensure the air filter is clean, and consider consulting a professional mechanic for diagnosis and repair of any ignition system issues.
