99 mercury cougar

Driving my 99 mercury cougar today, i went to go from a stop sign and my engine revs but it didnt go fast like it should have, when i pulled into my drive way it started to shake, fluid dripped out of my exhaust and it made a louder sound than what it usually makes, i got out and there seemed to be a rotten egg smell

Rotten egg smell??? Thats smell could be either from a bad 02 senser or a totally clogged catalytic converter...not terribly expensive to replace. As far as the engine shaking, and it not going quick out of the stop light, I'd pull my tranny dipstick and smell the fluid and check for a buring smell and or the color. You want it to be a light red color. You may have an internal transmission issue. You said you got "fluild" out of your tailpipe, was it just water, or was did it have a scent to it. You really should have the car checked out, with those symptoms that you listed you could do more damage by still driving it that way.

My cougar is overheating today sporadically, going from normal to high and back as I drove today. I don't see any signs of leakage or hissing in the engine compartment area, indicating a hose problem. ...

sounds like your coolant level dropped enough to empty the heater core and your engine was not getting coolant up to the cylinder head, check the coolant immediatly and fill then idle in the driveway till fully warm and you should notice the leak

My check engine light blinks for my mercury cougar at idle at every stop light, stop sign, everything as soon as i stop or put it in park it starts blinking whats wrong?

Usually when your check engine like is blinking it means you have a miss fire. You can go to Auto Zone and have them pull the codes and it will tell you what cylinder is misfiring. ( if you want to only fix that one miss).
