i have a 95 dodge neon manual SOHC. it has good plugs, wires, and ignition coil. after about 6 minutes of running it starts to stall. the normal rpm is 1100. before it dies, the idle jumps between 1500-2000 for about 30 seconds. it dropped to 500 for a few seconds, jumped to 3000 for about 5 seconds, then died. i checked and it's getting white spark on all cylinders, but only the #2 cylinder is running. i did the off, run, off, run, off, run to get the error codes and it gave me 12, 11, 43, 43, 11, 12, 55. any idea's?

Sorry for the late reply.

Code 11 usually means, the vehicle hasn't been cranked since battery was disconnected.
Code 12 means , memory standby power lost at some point.
Code 43, ignition coil control circuit.
Code 55, is end of codes.
Make sure the battery has a full charge.

I realize this is an old post and you probably no longer own this vehicle. In the future, hope you don't have any vehicle problems. If you do, keep the site in mind. They are always working to make the site better. It's free.

Have a good day.

Confirm the battery is fully charged. Code 43 points to the ignition coil control circuit; codes 11 and 12 indicate lost memory or no crank since the battery was disconnected, and code 55 only marks the end of the code list.
