smells like rotten eggs?

[88YotaTurbo]

you say the cat is new, right? Was it installed backwards?
Also The A/C system can smell like that in the car if you have a leak detector in the lines and it leaks out into your heater core. And the battery could smell like that is the voltage regulator in your alternator is dead and you're over charging you battery. (you know this). Hapy hunting

my batt is new as well.....its a gel cell battery so it cant be boiling......the cat isnt on backwards......also: the car sat for a year....they previous owner put on a brand new cat, then hit son too the car out for a quick spin and hit a fence so he parked it.....thats when i came along....i did take a look at the cat and it looks brand spankin new....so im guessin the cat hasnt been broken in yet.....

People seemed to ignore my post. I'm almost sure that's what it is. A battery WILL NOT give off a strong enough smell to be inside the cab. A bad cat will smell like rotten eggs BEHIND the car.

When I used to use shell gas a lot. I heard a lot of people tell me my exhaust smelled like rotton eggs. I switch to sunoco never smelled it again.

how much you want to bet you have an exhaust leak at the flange at the front of the cat, and possibly at the back...

at the front it will add more air and the cat will run hot, rear will allow you to smell it in the cab

get it fixed before you die from carbon monoxide poisoning...

Well, we all gave a little info. Now go outside to check to see if any are the culprit.

When I first drive my car and I come into boost I will get a bad smell. Not sure if I would say rotten egg, but close to that smell. Stock turbo with ebay greddy bov. Can anybody help with this one.

Make sure yoy didn't run over an animal, if they get stuck in your undercarage they can burn and cook on hot parts and smell horrible.

boost = rich

it's normal to a certain extent, but check for boost leaks...

 

[gravesdu_99]

I was under there the other night and didn't see any animals.:biglaugh: See I know that the car will run rich with boost. But it only does it for like the first 5 minutes every time I start the car and run it in boost. It prabably is just running rich, but I figured that it would be a different smell. Something like when a car is flooded.

First five minutes uh? Do you think the smell has something to do with the Oxygen Sensor? Our ECU's don't even look at our O2 sensors until they are warmed up.

Might be, I didn't know that. It could be making a rich condition.

first five minutes = cold start enrichment...

it's either the gas you're using, or you have something out of wack...

 

[TooGoode]
