Recomend checking timing belt and oil pan....sounds like it threw a rod or broke timing belt

Run a compression test. If all cylinders test very low or zero it's jumped timing or the timing belt is broken. Hope that helps! Jim

Turns out the camshaft sensor went out cause the timing chain to jump and broke the plastic timing gear that Neons are notorious for thank you guys for your answers. I hope my follow-up helps other people who ask the same question.
