Similar to the DOHC used in the Neon, Avenger/Sebring, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Eagle Talon; seriously considered by BMW for the 3-series. Basis for the 1.8, the 2.4, and the 1.4/1.6 used in the Mini. You can read more abou the engine here : http://www.allpar.com/mopar/2.html

DOHC - The Neon, Dodge Avenger, and Chrystler Sebring featured (as base engine on the Avenger/Sebring and optional engine on the Neon through 1999) the Chrysler-designed DOHC 2.0 engine. You can read more about the engine here : http://www.allpar.com/mopar/2dohc.html

 

thanks for all the info.

 

ur 420a is a DOHC by the way ;-), you should be able to find the same thing in a neon in a junkyard or somethin

 

thanks for all the help found a camshaft from a 95 rs in the junkyard and now i got evrything running again but now i have another question when i start it up the rpm goes up to 3000rpm and settles at 2000rpm is that normal and how do i adjust the idle?
thanks

 

No, thats extremely high.. You should be around 700-800 depending on your car and preference..

Not sure with the 420a(I dont think it does), but on the turbo motors, there a base idle adjustment screw by your throttle position sensor..

 

i doubt if this is it, but could your throttle possibly be stuck open a little?? your car is idling WAY high, just a suggestion

 

i checked my throttle and seems fine could it be the tps cause when i rev it the rpm takes a while to drop back to idle.

 

i've solved the idle problem. my idle air controller was all gunked up so with the help of a little carb cleaner now my idle is sittin pretty at 1000rpms. now all i gotta do is change my throw out bearings. i'm goonna try to get some pixcs up of my ride soon. thanks everybody for the help.

 

1k is still a little high...should be around 800 or so
