What does it mean when your exhaust smells bad and very fumy? There is no visible smoke coming out of the tailpipe, but after driving my car, when I get out I am surrounded by a very fumy smell. Can someone help me out? Thanks

 

a) you just came from Taco Bell
b) your catalytic converter is clogged

 

If it smells like eggs, its either the Taco Bell or your cat. Nice one Sprinty)

 

Sorry guys- it doesn't smell like rotten eggs. It smells heavy and fumy. What do you think?

 

Why in the hell are you smelling your exhaust?!?!?!
That's been known to cause death.

 

carbon monoxide? does it make you feel choked up? if so you may have exhaust leaking into the car.. have that check out.. and drive with your windows cracked at all times please

 

How long if the car sitting?

 

maybe your wahchamacall it filter needs to be changed?

 

Is that part of the O pipe?

 

no, the OGR valve

 

O I gOt it.

 

stupid is spelled "stupid" not stuped- thanks for your solution to my problem

never mind- I think I will go ask some people who know what they are talking about. Thanks anyway

Good luck.

 

I think someone is feeling a little rejected...

 

funny thing is i did my best to answer his question..

maybe we are too late and exhaust fumes are already in the cabin

 

Hopefully.

 

Is your muffler on?

 

cruelty to newbies is so funny

The real funny thing is it was a lurker who offended him.
