Has anyone experienced a rotten egg smell from their car? The first time I noticed it I thought it was from the outside. But since then I have noticed it happening more often. It usually happens after I drive at interstate speed for a short distance (60-70 mph for about 2-3 miles) and then stop. I have been thinking I may have a MAF problem, but is the smell a symptom as well?

Thanks in advance.

bad catalytic converter

 

Sounds like your cat is going bad

 

I used to get a weird ammonia/ sulfur(rotten egg) smell when I redline my car. I noticed it once when I dynoed my car and a couple times after I had ran it real hard. That was a long time ago though (almost 10k miles) and I havent thrown any codes for the cat.

 

Call daveb, your cat IS NOT going bad, i have asked him this same question 3 times and everytime he assured me that it was what the cat does, i dont know why... i have cali spec and i have heard of alot of people having this same problem.

 

I had that problem a few months ago on my '00. I thought it was the cat going bad but it turned out to be a bad sensor. I'll have to look it up in my service info to see exactly which one it was. It would have been kinda pricey (I have about 15K left on the extended warranty) so shop around at different dealers first if your warranty has run out....

Gotta reprogram the ECU afterwards as well...

 

mine does the same thing...
it smells real bad sometimes...i hate it when i have a girl in the car and it starts to smell...
hahaha

 

Bahahahha....tell her, "It wasn't me" and she'll be like "Well it isn't me so it was you."
