Check engine light has been coming on for last year. Problem is with engine misfire/catalytic converter. We have replaced everything suggested: spark plugs, wires, catalytic converter, engine tune up, new tires, etc. Problem worsening. Car riding rougher, worsening gas mileage.
The fuel tank has rusted and there is a noticeable gas smell.
