1998 Neon, auto, 4cyl, 155,000
I bought this off my sister who kept good care of it 2 years ago. Last summer the starting problem started. It would start sometimes and other times it woud not 50%. Someone told me to bang on the gas tank to see if it was the fuel pump, which made no sense to me put I tried it and it worked. So I replaced the pump and the car was fine for a while. Then the starting problem came back. Hiting the tank most times worked. I finally let it sit until the winter when my son wanted to drive it. All winter it gave him no problems, as soon as it got warm a couple of weeks ago the starting problems came back. Now I have notice when the car wont start if you rock the car it will start. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHATS WRONG.
If the problem was sediment then wouldnt it be a constant problem? Once it is started it does not have any problem running.
