As far as I know it has the stock plugs in it............I've never touched
it except to check the fluids.

I'm just wondering if has a Automatic OD type transaxle, or if it has a 3
spd Automatic......

My 01' has a OD switch on the gear selector as did my 99', the Neon doesn't
have a one in it....

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

Hmmm sounds like somethings wrong.. Have you tried pulling any codes?

12.5 gal. I get at 1/2 tank 160mi. Moderate driving, heavily modded.

Mods: AF/X UDP, Iceman CAI, LFS 60mm TB, AF/X Street/Strip PCM, Magnum
intake manifold, DynoMax catback, REX MM inserts, adjusted kickdown, AF/X
valvebody, NGK B7RKE plugs & a Zex n2o system w/ColdFusion 20lb tank
spraying a 100hp shot.

You have an 03 with a 4spd ATX? What plugs are you using? Stock Champs
should be the only plugs you are running.
