I have a 1995 probe gt 5 speed. It runs great at first, but when you get to driving it sometimes it kinda cuts out. You can ease on the throttle and it will maintain about 65 mph. When you let it set a few minutes it drives fine. When you hit the throttle while driving or sitting still you can hear a hissing noise coming from the exhaust. Could this be a catalitic converter starting to clog up?

Yes, it could be the converter. Has the engine ever not started? Has the check engine light come on and have you checked fuel pump pressure?
