i have an 01 Neon with only 65,000 miles on it, and this is my wife's daily driver, so we need to resolve this ASAP. about a month ago i could feel the car losing some of it's pickup, and about a week ago it started sputtering and idleing rough. the engine light came on and so i checked the OBD-II codes and referenced them online, and i was kinda close with my guess of a clogged fuel filter, she is misfiring in cylinder #2.
the problem is i'm too much of a puss, and have no REAL tools/knowledge of how to rip this thing apart and figure out what the hell it is exactly, it could be a fuel filter/pump, clogged/dead fuel injector, or a bad plug/coil (very doubtful), head gasket (very doubtful) or a valve gasket (possibly)
any idea's or anyone wanna help?
