I am considering purchasing this auto. Owner was operating this vehicle daily until raw fuel was noticed at the tailpipe. The owner abruptly parked this vehicle. Any suggestions as where to start???

Bad catalytic converters, bad spark plugs or ignition coils, stuck fuel injector... just a few of the things that come to mind.
Any obd2 codes?

1. 97 models had the 4.1L engine.

2. These vehicles are known for producing an absolutely ungodly amount of condensation in the exhaust - which can have an unburned gasoline odor when it drips out. So - Are you absolutely sure that what he noticed was really raw fuel?
