Rough idle / water out exhaust
My 95 grand cherokee (6cylinder) starts fine, but idles very rough for about 5 minutes and during this time also blows some water out the exhaust pipe. Then it clears up and runs fine. Something cracked or gasket?

Water out of the exhaust when the engine is warming up is normal. There is a chemical reaction in the cat converter and water is the byproduct.

unless it's green water then there might be a problem. does it smell sweet, is the level in the radiator going down? if so then you've got the head/head gasket problem. If not then you probably don't
