is there a tool that I can use to remove the red clip. I tried to remove it for 20 minutes and it won't move.

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I'm trying to replace the coil pack on my 2005 Neon and I can't get the red clip to move at all. Is there a special tool or some trick that I am missing? I spent nearly an hour just trying to move the clip before I finally just gave up.

Yep, there is a special and VERY expensive tool... Wait for it... a flat head screw driver or pick. :-) lol, I don't mean to offend you, been there myself. Stick a small flat head on there and twist it to the side or push the plug out with a pick. YouTube is your friend! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kGC7UNXW5k

Maintenance & Repair
We just purchased a used 1995 Dodge Neon and we are having problems with it. The problem is the car will drive for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and the engine begins to jump and miss. When this occurs, we stop the car and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes and then it will go for about 8 miles (10 to 15 minutes) and will start missing and jumping again. We took it to advance auto and they used a computer diagnostic machine and told us the ignition coil was malfunctioning, so we replaced it but it is still doing the same thing (missing and jumping). My wife says she smells a gas/fuel smell when it starts. Also, thought I had water in the gas tank, so I used dry gas but that didn't help either. Do the 1995 Neon's have a particular problem that sounds like mine? Thank you for any help you can give. 5 Answers

We are also having problems with the dashboard instrument lights and panel are not working. They also work on and off.
