    Pop and the car died
    On my home today the engine light came on 2 seconds later a pop, the engine died, the engine light went out and the car won't start. All lights still work but when you turn the key nothing happens, not even trying to turn over. Any sugestions? 2000 neon 2.8 standard.

    . Check the timing belt--it may have snapped. Since this is an interference engine, the results could be disastrous.

    . Check all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    Be very thorough, since it will save a lot of time and money.

    . Check for codes, by attaching a code reader to the data link connector, located under the dash.

    The car starts now with no problem and I didn't do anything. But I'm nurvous about driving it. The first tow cost enough. I checked all the fluids and couldn't see any parts out of place. I don't know whitch belt is the timeing belt but if it is on the left side of the engine then it's still good and tight. I don't have a multi meter but I checked the fuses and couldn't see any that were burnt out. I called a mechanic and when I told him that it started the next day just fine he said he had never heard of a car with this problem before. Having said that is there anything I have mentioned that could help further?

    Thanks Ed
