Rough Idle with egg smell

Feb 17, 2004 3 Replies

Hi,



I have a 90 max 3 gen with a VG30E engine,



when i start the car it is rough when it is cold,



when it warm up it is ok,



when i go up a hill the car seems fine but when iam up the hill and when i stop next to the side of the curb i don't smell the egg smell when the door is close but when i open the door i smell the egg smell,



can somebody tell me why this is happing?



can somebody give me a solutions to solving this problem?



Bye everybody,



ps: does any body have a 90 max, and experience this same problem before,



I think it has something to do with the catalytic converter processing too much raw gas, which is probably caused by a bad O2 sensor or fouled injector. I've heard of this before. Take it to a fuel injection shop for a computer scan and/or injector service. There are others in this group that are fairly knowledgeable on this problem.

Could also be a corrorded/bad EFI temp sensor/subharness.

Yeah, I'd look first at the fuel injectors to see if they're broken or leaking. Also check for excess carbon buildup around your exhaust pipe.
