Dodge Neon problems...?

Question

Ok. I have a 95 neon with about 150,000 miles on it. It's been running pretty well all this time, had a timing belt replaced in 2005, and has been maintained decently. It started acting like it wanted to die when it was in gear and I was stopped at lights. I took it in and was told that I had a couple bad seals on my plug wires and needed a new coil, new spark plugs, wires...all to the tune of 550 bucks. That did solve the problem, but the next day I went to start it and it didn't want to turn over at first, I would turn the key and it just kind of clicked, and when I tried again it fired right up, then when I got to work I was backing up and it suddenly died on me, so I called the shop that replaced my coil, wires...and they looked at it and said I had a bad battery cell and replaced that for another 60 bucks, only it's still happening, and I'm not sure what the deal is. In gear it sort of surges when I'm stopped and it's suddenly getting worse gas mileage...what gives?

Sounds like the shop is being honest but I'd call them tomorrow and say nicely you'd like them to tow the car back to the shop and have them recheck their misdiagnosis. If that was done at my shop, I would definately tow the car back and look it over for customer satisfaction with no charge to the customer for the towing. I mean come on, you went in and spent 600 bucks and the car is no different, you do have a case here if they wanna push it but give them a chance to look at it and correct the problem at their cost good luck.

Look for a bad ground wire. Particularly the the wire going from the Negative in the battery to the body or block. Also check over the wires around the starter.
