1999 Dodge Stratus Automatic 110773 miles
The car is a 99 Stratus. The engine is a 2.4l 16v DOHC. I had just filled up the gas tank and jumped on the expressway and noticed at 60+ the Check Engine light came on and shortly after the vehicle started sputtering. I was attempting to make it to the next exit and when passing a car, I lost all acceleration in the vehicle. It is now idling super rough, and there is a somewhat mild-heavy gas smell coming from the exhaust. I've tried on-off-on-off-on and there are no codes. I can barely accelerate(I eventually got it back to my house from the expressway by driving it), and on the way back to my house it lost acceleration again and then stalled out. I'm almost completely car illiterate and don't have a clue, so thanks in advance for taking the time to read/help! :)
Also, for over a year now my windshield wiper fluid hasn't worked, if anyone could suggest some things to check out for that? The pump runs, as far as I can tell, and at first one of the dispensers worked(I do believe passenger side, but it's been a while so I honestly can't say), and it does have fluid in it! :)
