Vehicle: 1995 Dodge Intrepid
Engine Size: 3.3/v6
Mileage: 136,289 mi.

My car is making a sputtering sound and its the noise is mainly coming from the muffler. Every once in a while it cuts off on me but cranks right back up. i Just got the car 4 days ago so I know nothing about it yet. If someone can please help me out, id greatly appreciate it.

This could be a zillion things - chances are the engine isn't running smoothly and you are just hearing the issue from the muffler.

It could be a muffler issue and rusted inside but that's kind of rare,

Tom has those number right, with such little info.

One quick check you could do would be to get a can of carb clean & spray around the intake manifold. Those are real good for leaky gaskets..........
