I have a question about the fuel system in a 2003 dodge stratus?

last week my car developed a miss while idle and occasionally on take off but was fine i had it hooked up to a computer and was told it has a miss in cylinder 1 i was told to add some fuel injector cleaner and see if that worked. it didnt. changed the spark plugs that didnt help either. today i took it out and the check engine light started flashing it started shuddering made a strange noise a few times and almost acted like it was running out of gas but it got me to where i was going so i could trade it for my husbands truck and it didnt stall any. im wondering what it is like when the fuel pump goes bad and also what it is like when a catylitic converter goes bad any help?

Since injector cleaner, changing plugs did not help, and plug wires checked out good and no mechanical problems, sound like injector 1 maybe dumping too much fuel flooding out no. 1 cylinder. The check engine light flashing indicates a condition that could damage the converter such as too much unburned fuel that can clog up the converter. The check engine light will also indicate if the converter is failing thanks to a front and back O2 sensor at the converter.

Could be bad wires.Spark plug wires.
the check engine light alerts you to trouble with the exhaust?emmissions.probably the convertor is getting plugged or a bad 0 2 sensor.
