What are some possibilities as to the cause? It has trouble starting occasionally and eats gas like nobodys business. We've changed spark plugs, got a new coil something or other...it's just a p.o.s. Help???

It could mean a number of things from major or minor repairs. If there is an AutoZone or Advanced Discount Auto Parts store in your area, take your vehicle to them. They do FREE diagnostic screenings and it only takes seconds for the handheld machine to read the code and tells them whats wrong with your car. Or you could simply start by a tune up with oil change and filter, new spark plugs, etc. and take it from there. You may need a new O2 sensor, that will trip those service lights also. The newer cars with computers are very sensitive and when the lights come on, don't ignore the warnings, somethings about to break down.

Service Engine Soon Light is really nothing to worry about if you service your car regularly. All it tells you is that routine maintenance is due.
However, if it says Check Engine, which I suspect it does(I haven't seen a Chrysler product with a Service engine light) you have some sort of malfunction that needs attention. You can take it to many auto supply stores and have a code reader hooked up for free and find out what he problem is.

On a 1998 Neon you need a code reader not only for the problem but to turn the light off after you fix it. The problem is most likely your oxygen sensor which is code po142.

oxygen sensor could be going bad. would be a reason drinking gas.
check engine light could be a lot of things. Some cars have the light come on when they hit a certain milage and its time for a milage service, (50,000 mile service for example)

best thing you can do is have the code pulled and resolved form the vehicles computer
dealers are expensive, try to go to a local shop that has the code reader for this it should cost you much less$
