Smell

I have a 99SE with about 45k on it. Everytime that I come to a light or stop and the windows are open I get a wierd smell. My guess is that it is something comming from the exhaust. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Does it smell like a rotten egg?
What does it smell like?
Does it smell kinda funky (like fungal?)

rotten egg...probably means it is your catalytic convertor...
search the .org! (see up in the top-right of the screen)

I think i've read that this is a fairly common issue.

If you have a new catalytic, then I would definitely say this is the cause...but, please search!

No I haven't gutted out the cat and I haven't really noticed a performance loss, so I really didn't think that the cat was clogged. I read on another thread to change the type of gas your using. I dno maybe I should just get a new cat.
