Some causes could be fuel pump, fuel filter, faulty electronics, out of fuel. Unfortunately there are no simple answers, somebody will need to go through at least some of the basic diagnostic steps.
My wife had a Dodge neon. There are two reasons for this. First it could be electrical. Second it could be a seized engine. If the neon is a newer one then it may be equipt with a low oil switch. In this case if you were burning oil or low then the engine would shut down. The switch prevents the car from restarting. If it is purely electrical then the only thing I could think of is that the alternator went. In this case the car would still drive for a while on the battery power. When the battery went low the car would stall and not start. If you have electricity when the car engine stopped it is not the alternator. I'd have the alternator and battery checked. A weak battery would also cause this. The battery would still work but would have a bad cell and not function properly. I would also check the fluid levels to make sure they are at their proper levels. If all of these check out then I would look at the ignition. There may be faulty or loose wiring. Check your plugs, cap and rotor if applicable. If none of these are your problems then you may have more serious engine problems like blown heads or broken valves. Could also be fuel injection or fuel pump. Gotta find out if you have power after the car dies. Can you crank the engine, but it doesn't turn over? And of course make sure you have gas.
i had the same probleman i changed the crank sensor an the cam senson an the knock sensor an the coil pack an checked all grounds an in line fuses an relays an regular fuses no luck so i started checkin the volts in the wires no problems anywhere so i checked the timing an the motor sounded good when cranking over but when i pulled the timing cover i discovered the belt had jumped a couple of teeth an that was shuttin down the sensors so the computer would not let the spark go to theplugs hope this helps it drove me insaine tryin to figure mine out i have a 2000 neon with the 2.0 motor good luck
probably the alternator went bad. same thing happened to me in my car. try th
e alternator.
Looking under the hood of your 2004 dodge neon, DIRECTLY let of the battery. remove the battery and move around some hoses and wiring to access. simple fix. this should also be the same for all 2004 neons. sniper3735

That engine is only in the Neons.That engine is only in the Neons.
No, the engines are interference.
That is the check engine light. It stays on when the computer has detected an emissions related failure.
neons eclipses and talons are your best bet. the engine is called a 420a.
Any mechanic that will listen.
According to MSN Autos...Dodge Neons were made from 1995-2005

Dodge and Plymouth neons are identical. Parts are interchangeable. Make sure you get appropriate parts depending on whether your car is Single Overhead CAM (SOHC) or Dual Overhead CAM (DOHC)
No, all Dodge Neon's do not have a trunk release. This was part of the option package offered on some of the earlier Dodge Neons.
