install your Catalytic converter

 

Step 1: Sell your car, and use the money for Step #2...

Step 2: Go back to 3rd grade and learn the english language, there are thing's called punctuation & grammar.

If your exhaust smells like fuel, then you're running rich. Check your timing - new ignition components would'nt hurt either (plugs, wires). If that still doesn't do anything, a new O2 sensor and maybe even a new catalytic convertor should be in order...(considering your motor is mostly stock)

dame man....sorry i an't all that good with my vocab and ****....i'm just trying to ask for help...and yea i still got my stock cat......

 

Okay okay... Sorry. It just bugs me that's all.


Anyway, start with the most simple things. Check out that timing! After that definitely get new spark plugs (because your old ones will have a nice carbon buildup by now). If your exhaust still smells like fresh gas, then I'd say it's probably the O2 sensor....

Okay, for the plugs DON'T use Bosch!

Definitely use the Honda recommended ones! NGK! Just head to checker/autozone and tell them which car you have - ask for the NGK plugs.

The Bosch Platinum +4's run very very cold, these are the worst plugs you can get for a stock A6 motor.

 

thanx for the info.....yea i heard they are only good on euro cars...

 

Your cat may be on it's way out or your engine may be running at to higher fuel mixer (e.g. your o2 sensor may have picked up or you not firing on all 4 check HT leads and plus dizy ect)
