2003 Dodge Neon Performance


The engine "misses a beat" when idling and runs rough when backing up. The only real problems I've
noticed are water flowing out of the muffler (not the tail pipe) which seems to indicate a hole in the seam. And, there is a strange "dead fish smell" coming through the vents. Any suggestions?
