1995 Plymouth neon and it wont start when turns over backfires what would be?

There are a few reasons why a 1995 Plymouth Neon might backfire when it turns over but won't start. Here are a few things to check:

1. Spark plugs: Check the spark plugs to make sure they are in good condition and that the gap is correct. If the spark plugs are worn or damaged, they can cause the engine to misfire and backfire.

2. Ignition timing: Check the ignition timing to make sure it is set correctly. If the ignition timing is off, it can cause the engine to misfire and backfire.

3. Fuel injector: Check the fuel injector to make sure it is working properly. If the fuel injector is clogged or damaged, it can cause the engine to run lean and backfire.

4. Air filter: Check the air filter to make sure it is clean and not clogged. If the air filter is dirty, it can cause the engine to run lean and backfire.

5. PCV valve: Check the PCV valve to make sure it is working properly. If the PCV valve is stuck closed, it can cause the engine to run rich and backfire.

If you have checked all of these things and the engine is still backfiring, you may need to take it to a mechanic for further diagnosis.
