The Starter of the Dodge Neon transforms battery energy into mechanical energy that cranks the engine so the combustion can begin. The current flows from the unit through heavy gauge wire into an externally mounted solenoid, closing the circuit and sending current to field coils or permanent magnets around a rotating armature. As the armature turns due to the electromagnetic force, the pinion gear at the rear of the shaft turns and moves forward to engage with the flywheel or flexplate ring gear, thus rotating the crankshaft. After the Starter is energized, a one-way clutch permits the pinion to freewheel so that the Starter is protected from excessive speed. Some configurations utilize a gear reduction system that places a small reduction gear between the armature and the drive so a greater torque can be produced from a smaller package. The solenoid and the Starter motor are activated by a control circuit that starts with the ignition switch and incorporates a relay and a safety switch that prevents cranking when the Dodge Neon is in gear on the automatic versions or when the clutch is out on the manual versions. A dependable Starter in this Dodge assures a successful and speedy start-up of every Neon engine session. As such, the component plays an important electrical-mechanical link in the Dodge Neon powertrain.
