I am hoping someone here will be able to help me out as I have searched and searched the net. I currently have a 1995 Dodge Neon 2.0 DOHC 5 Speed manual. I am putting in a 1999 2.0 DOHC engine. I know when my mother swapped hers out, ( 95-96 ) all the sensors had to be taken off the old motor, and put on the newer motor, the 1996. Even that in itself I dont think was right, as when the connect one vacuum hose, the car dies ( idles real low and eventually stalls ) and her check engine light stays on. Anyways, a solution for that would be great too. Back to my problem, I am going from a 95 motor, as I said, to a 99 motor. I have been told to just swap the sensors out, and some even said I should have to get the 99 model pcm. Please, someone let me know what I need, everything I need to do to get this project on the right path and finished up. Thanks.


EDIT: On a side note, I know its not much, but you guys have helped me out before, so I have donated 10.00. As I said its not much but every little bit helps. Thanks again guys

You dont need to swap the PCm unless you arent going to change the sensors over. If you use all original sensors and intake manifold, your PCM will be ok

Blah. Thatd be great if it wasnt a pay site, but I dont guess you should expect things like that to be free. Anyway you can view the image, save it and upload it here as an attachment or what not?

Ok, well after doing a whole lot of calling around, I have gotten the answer from a few mechanics, and a couple of junkyards, that the sensors do not need to be changed, just need to change the intake manifold and maybe the fuel rail, but everything else should be fine as 96-99 are interchangeable "B" type motors, and a 95 model has a "A" type motor I am hoping someoone here can confirm

Can you please be more specific, as far as what needs to be done, agreeing with Ideas I come up with on my end is great and all, but I am looking for further insight into the matter, is there not any one on these forums, or even you yourself who can call someone, talk to someone, or what not to figure out everything needing to be done?

What do you mean "as far as what needs to be done" do you want step by step instructions on repalcing the engine? If both are the same displacement, same designation and within the years of interchangeability, what else is there to say? Personally I would use the senors off the original engine, just because they are know good sensors, might save some diagnostic time and headaches later
