What would be cheaper on parts, a Honda or a Chrysler?

Question 1
What would be cheaper on parts, a Honda or a Chrysler?...  Which one would be cheaper on replacement. A Honda civic or a Chrysler neon???

Answers
1)   Honda civic will hold up longer needed less parts to replace - kelly_f_1999

2)   The part cost would be the same.

Import parts are more expensive but Honda civic isn't an import. There are enough of them on the road for most auto parts stores to carry their parts and for Chinese slave labor factories to make them.. - chris c

3)   Honda Civic definitely - Arham

4)   I can't tell you what difference you will have cost wise, but the Honda will need fewer part in the long run than the Neon. Therefor the Honda will be cheaper to operate than the Neon. Honda is noted for going a long way without much mechanical problems. Neon is not. - Jackolantern

5)   From the dealer, it's a toss up. Some parts for 1 make are costlier than the other. - badbill1941

6)   Don't even consider a Neon. They are truly one of the worst cars made in the last 30 years. Unreliable, flimsy, and every one of them needs a head gasket.

Run, don't walk, from those cars. - Mike

Question 2
plymouth neon good or bad car /gas millage?...  im looking @ a 1998 i just want to no ya' or na'!!!!!!

Answers
1)   no it would be a bad choice and be unreliable.. go japanese - THS

2)   I had a 97 neon Grrreat on gas. I drove 60 miles round trip. Six days a week. It sipped gas. And I got 275'000 miles out of it. Only sold it cause I needed a truck. To haul stuff. I shoulda kept the Neon, just to see how many more miles it would go. But we all do stupid things sometimes it's human nature. - Sharp Shooter

3)   First of all, none of the Neon's parts are sourced from Mitsubishi, as others have said.

That out of the way, do not even consider it. They are probably one of the worst, if not the worst vehicle produced in the 1990s. - Mike

4)   Decent car - I would go for it.

How many miles are on this one? At what price? Is it well maintained? Do they have a reciept for a timing belt? Does it leak any fluid?

If it has a recent timing belt or if you are willing to put one in ($450?) then go for it. - chris c

Question 3
i got a 1991 plymouth laser 1.8 help!!!!!?...  every time i start the car i let it idle, but if i turn steering wheel the oil light blinks orange? also if i drive on a bumpy surface the oil light will flicker on/off. Do i need a new oil switch....or ?
thanks

Answers
1)   For some reason you have very low oil pressure. It only takes 5-10 psi to turn the light off so anything that lowers it will let the idiot light come on.
First,make sure your oil is at the proper level. If it is, my guess would be a worn oil pump.
You don't say how many miles are on it, so bad bearings is a possibility. - Harry

2)   First thing is to make sure the oil is at the full level on the dipstick. Low oil level will result in low pressure, which will turn the light on.

If the oil is full, you'll have to verify whether the oil pressure is really low or not. This is done with a manual oil pressure gage. That will tell you whether it's a problem with the sender, or if the oil pressure is actually low.

If it's showing the proper pressure with a manual gage, then it is either a bad sensor/switch, or the wiring to the sensor/switch is getting shorted somewhere (broken wire, connector loose, etc)

If the pressure is actually low, then it is a more serious problem such as a weak oil pump, clogged oil passage, or too much clearance somewhere in the engine.

Many parts stores offer tool rental programs where you can rent a tool at no charge (you'll have to put a deposit that gets reimbursed when you rent it) and they may have an oil pressure gage you can use to check the pressure. - Mark B

3)   check your oil if its not low you probably need a new oil pressure sensor.

good luck - danielle

my car shake when giving gas. 1996 chry town&country?...  

Answers
1)   Have your motor mounts checked , chances are at least 2 are broken - Walt

2)   Could be an engine misfire, 1 or more bad motor mounts, or a bad drive axle cv joint. Have someone look at the car. - badbill1941

3)   Front CV joint are worn. When replacing, get the complete shaft and replace BOTH sides. They are cheaper if you buy aftermarkets complete shafts. - Jackolantern

Question 5
99 Chrysler Sebring problems starting and dying randomly no code on comp help?...  took it to mechanic couldnt find a problem
check engine light not coming on

Answers
1)   you bought a chrysler.......what did you expect? - Brian G

2)   This is a common problem with all throttle body cars. Carburetor cars didn't have this problem because the fuel went through the carburetor into the intake and keep both clean. The throttle body doesn't because the fuel is delivered to the cylinders at the intake point. The throttle plates gunk up along with the intake. buy a can of throttle body cleaner at the parts store or Wall Mart and just follow the directions. Don't pay attention to the nay sayers. ALL throttle body cars are subject to gunk in the intakes. It's not just Chrysler. - Jackolantern

3)   There is a recall on the fuel pumps on these cars. Check this website and call them.
