odd smell...

Kabir does it smell musty or like rotten eggs? A musty smell indicates mold/bacteria in the HVAC. Rotten egg smell points to a bad cat usually but try changing the brand of gasoline you use before making any decisions.

because you only get that smell when your flooring it it means that you CAT IS DOING ITS JOB. It is eliminating one of the by-products of combustion and it creates this smell. Once your because accustomed to you "flooring" it or enough residue builds up inside the cat the smell will happen less and less and be less smelly until it will ultimately go away.
When i got my car from my step father he never floored it or anything. When i got the car and began pushing it same thing happened...but it goes away.

Same thing happend to me. My O2 sensor died on my catalyic converter, so i went and bought new one and installed it. I put the regular gas in, and w/e i floor the car, or if i go over 3000 rpm, it starts to smell really bad. First of all i thought, it was my e-break, but than i figured out that it wasnt, than i thought that it was some gas coming from A/C but it wasnt. And it still does that, do you guys have any idea what should i do. And yea, my maxima is really bad on gas for some reasons, i had wider tires and bigger rims during summer, but now during winter i've put my old stock 2000 maxima rims on, and it still is bad on gas. I can barely go 250 miles per gas tank, on h-way i can go 400, but in city i am really bad. Is it cause' of my catalyic converter, or is it something else. And i changed my sparkplugs too, like 1k miles ago.
SO PLEASE HELP ME
THANKS

1) My dad screwed up my MAF, running rich so smelled like gasoline.
2) Driving on my local roads, there are LOTS of SKUNKS out here so you smell them through the vents. When it's winter and it's cold, you turn on your HEATERS. But then you smell HOT SKUNK. It really does smell like rotten eggs, but I'm not too sensitive to it. Nor-Cal... Skunks, who ever knew?
