Having problems with your 2005 Dodge Neon ?
I have a 2005 dodge neon sxt, in the morning when I start it up I hear a loud knocking noise from the engine but after about 15 seconds it gets softer but is still there all day when I'm driving around.
Answers :
It is probably your lifters sticking. Check your engine oil level and if thats fine, then add some oil detergent/additive that says it will "reduce engine knock and free sticky lifters" run with that additive for a couple hundred miles or until the noise gets better. then replce your oil after that without using the additive
Check the oil level, and if it's been a while since a oil and filter change, I would recommend getting it changed and if the car has alot of miles on it, use a grade of oil designed for high miles. Keep an eye on your oil level. Make sure it's not dropping ..
