stinking smell from 2003 Carmy LE

Maybe if you drive the car down the street instead of sitting there in a closed garage pretending to drive .... the smell would be unnoticeable. ;-)

I would be wanting a warranty fix for that baby. Catalytic problems maybe?

Suphur in fuel. The catalyst is designed for the low sulphur fules now being mandated.

have the smell on my '02

Solution: find a station selling cleaner fuel... it will be mandated soon

Try switching to another gas station first. Sounds like sulferous oxide you are smelling. Otherwise you may have issues with the catalytic converter.

Same thing happens to me when I pull up next to a Republican.

Hey pal... start living dangerously. Breathe DEEP.

Philip:

The same thing happens when I pull up next to a democrat, sometimes. If he stinks, then I just RECKON he's a Republican.

I hope you're not taking this seriously. I just couldn't resist commenting on Mr. Yi's piece.

You persist, "yrmac."

Did you smell H2S gas before, that is the smell of stinking eggs.

I have always thought that that odor was caused by unburned fuel that got into the exhaust system. It is caused by a rich running engine. Either way it should be covered by warranty. Time to see your dealer...

Well Joe... your thoughts/beliefs are not founded in any facts. Any malfunction or beyond bounds conditions encountered by the ECU will result in a Check Engine light. If you do some research, you'll find these stinky exhaust complains nearly always emanate from the same parts of the US and Canada in general.

Not good for beemers either. They use nicosil plating on the cylinder walls. High sulfer fuels attack it.
