New cat, now the rotten egg smell?
Just replaced the catalytic converter a couple of weeks ago. Car did not smell like this before the change.
I'm thinking that I have a leaky injector and maybe the unspent fuel is causing the smell when it hits the Cat. Only burning 93 octane name brand fuel, so I don't think it's a sulfur issue. Any other thoughts beyond the leaky injector(s)? Thanks for any insight |
Was it replaced with a stock cat? Do you have a functional airpump?
I have a stock cat and aftermarket down pipe; before the cat warms up my car reeks. |
did you get a high flow cat?
|
that means the cat is properly working
|
Still have the air pump, cat is after market from Midas.
|
does it have that smell all the time or just whe you get on it hard?
|
Rotten egg smell is hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Has to be sulfur somewhere to generate that. Could be sulfur in the engine oil, in the fuel, maybe a compound in the cat's adhesive. It will burn off if part of the cat; not so much if in the oil or fuel.

could be battery leaking
