Neon n00b needs help!
Hey Neon-ers! I just traded a 1985 Chevy Blazer rolling shell for a project 2.4 swapped Neon. It's complete pretty much but it's having some running issues.
This is the blazer i traded.

And this is the Neon



The motor runs really smooth when it runs good. No ticks, taps, or knocks. Right now it is having a sputtering issue and i can give it much gas. I can ease it up to like 3500rpm or so. I drove it around the block and it was cutting in and out when trying to give it gas. I woke up in first for about 3 seconds and it accerated fine until it proceed to die. It can start right up and run the same like a minute later. Me and my buddies figured it was a map or maf sensor. Also the post cat o2 sensor isn't hooked up at all.
All i know right now is the neon has a 2.4 from a stratus, obx header, lowered idk how or how much, shaved rear doors, rear body kit and side skirts, no front bumper, and the rear windows were painted. I'm going to ditch the side skirts and bumper for stock ones all around. Also ditching the paint on the windows. I also need to make some sort of hood for it and build an exhaust from the header back.

Ok so, with the 2.4 swap, are you supposed to run the factory 2.0 DOHC map sensor and computer and such?? I looked for a 2.4 map sensor on autozone.com and i have a 2.0 DOHC map sensor in the intake.
Also i think the computer is the factory computer, if not then the 2.4 is from a 96 i'm guessing because the computer says 1996 on it.

You need a 2.0 map sensor and a 2.0 DOHC computer to get it running properly. The 2.0 DOHC intake manifold has the waterneck integrated so the hose will sit down a bit lower. It's in limp mode is why it only revs to 4k. I would definitely look at the wiring to make sure it's all done right. Maybe they tossed it in there without changing the wiring at all.
