Eric/Inch,
Could be O2 sensor and/or catalytic converter. A bad O2 sensor would probably
have fired the MIL ("Check Engine") idiot light.
A tuneup (plugs, wires, rotor, cap, PCV) wouldn't hurt.
I put a cat converter on my girlfriend's '95 Country for about $125, and an O2
sensor costs about $80 (unless you buy it from Chrysler, of course ;)
