Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / October 20062003 Dodge Neon - spits and sputters
When I start the neon the motor revs up to about 4000 rpms then slows down to about 2000 then starts to spit and sputter, when you push the break pedal it is like when the vehicle is shut off, (like there is no vacuum) and within just a few minutes the catalytic converter will glow red. any ideas  SignaturePosted at author's request, using fully moderated http://www.AutoBoardz.com/Dodge-forum-35.html interface Sounds like you need to replace the converter. At least, make sure something isn't inside blocking your exhaust pipe.
