Bad Smell

I need some help, I got a 1992 GXE and I am getting a bad rotten egg smell from under the car I believe. What the hell could this be. Im up for all opinions. Thanks

Your catalytic convertors are getting clogged. Either Jegs or JC Whitney sells stuff that's supposed to clean them out, but I don't really know if it works... A new cat (maybe high-flow even...) would most likely solve your problem.

Bad Smell

I just got a random technology hi flow cat not even 2 months ago. How could it get clogged so quickly?

Rotten egg smell usually means bad catalytic converter.

www.warpspeedperformance.com sells a carsound high flow cat for $107.00 shipped. The smell should go away with this.

I thought that Maxima's only have one catalytic converter?
