Hey guys...

I was driving with 8 people in the car (yeah I know, a little overloaded, but I was the only one in any condition to drive) and I started smelling something that smelled like rotten eggs when I turned on the heat. I only drove with that many people for like 10 or 15 minutes.

It didn't go away after I drove the car about an hour later with just me in it, and I pushed it hard to make sure nothing was wrong. It doesn't smell like it's from the exhaust - it's when I turn on the heat or AC. Should I worry about this?

 

Sounds like your cat is going bad...

 

Refrain from hotboxing your vehicle, sir.

 

Maybe it was a sulfuric smell from outside? Did you have the hot air being generated, or circulating in from outside through the engine?

 

Are you sure someone didnt in the car....?

 

ROFL!!!!

 

I had the air circulating in from outside,

I went for a drive today and everything seemed normal, so it may have just been a fluke?

 

Anytime you smell rotten eggs = cat going bad

or someone in the back seat didn't fess up

 

hey wassup yeah i've been gettin that smell to but for me it happens when i got lik 4,000 rpms or up(racing).i went 2 check it out and its that cat.its sulfer goin into the cat.they said it was normal.i've been smellin it from couple of my friends cars as well.i've jsut been drivin slow latly.its normal don't worrie

 

Someone in the car is running straight pipes....

 

you know, another thought crossed through my head...that stupid sewage treatment place by my apartment always smells bad, might have just been that. I think I feel stupid.

 

Don't feel stupid. If your performance seems to be dropping off along with the odor, its not the sewage treatment place, its your cat, otherwise, stinky sewage plant

 

Bacteria in the system could be the culprit. Make sure u use the A/C or Heat (depends on the climate) regularly (read: daily) to avoid buildup.
