2000 Dodge Neon

I have a 2001 dodge neon that i have never had any problems with. but
today it started acting up.

when i pulled out of my complex it acted as if it was going to stall.
got to a stop light again it acted like it was going to stall.

turned a corner and it stalled. i stopped and got it started again
then kept going and it stalled again ...after 2 more times i made it
to work (less then a mile from my complex) and it stalled into the
parking spot where it now sits.

what would make a car stall all of a sudden? does anyone know?

Mio

hi Abby Normal

I like the name

unfortunately yes there is someone who could have put something in my
tank. I took it to the shop (well had it towed) and they said they
cant be for certain what was wrong but now its working fine.

i did go out that night and purchase a locking gas cap. the 2000 model
didn’t come with one so i bought the 99 model cap and it works fine.

i also put some gas tank cleaner stuff in it so its better.

i wish there was a way to prove if she did it or not. but there isnt
so i keep it close to my window at work to make sure and i keep an eye
on it at home.

thanks for the advice
