Our little neon is running rough it has little or no power going uphills checked the error codes it blinked twice saying that it might be the timing error code maybe skipped a tooth but it has little or no power sounds like only a few or a couple cylinders are running shakes a little while driving it mainly just sounds like 1 or 2 cylinders aren't firing checked spark plugs haven't checked injectors yet car seems to idle alright but still sounds like a couple cylinders aren't firing.

Welcome to the forum, what are the actual codes? How long since a tune-up? Do you have spark at all plugs? Use a gage and check fuel pressure.

Im pretty sure the light blinked twice so that would be 11 right then I saw it was the timing on the error codes havent tested the plugs going to do that very soon.
