ok so after a long or hard drive, i pull up the drive way turn off the car and get out, i get this egg smell coming from the car. what is it?!

 

i have had this befoire i looked at everything then i looked at my battery and it was buldging like it was going to explode apparently it went bad and was being over charged or something i replaced it and the smell went awqay

 

It's a bad cat from the other threads that I've read. I don't have any experience with this though.

 

Aw, ****! I have that same smelly problem.

bwahahahahhahahahha any other suggestions?

 

its one or the other either the battery or the catalytic.....if its after a long drive more than likely itll be the catalytic getting tooo tooo HOT GUT THAT **** OUT

 

does sound like a cat but only gut it if you plan on using it at a track ONLY... our cars don't benifit enough from it to justify it at all.. get an aftermarket cat for 25-150 bucks...

 

just a guess but After cleaning car with degreaser your car could turn out smelling like crap for a few days

 

or I mean, cleaning the car's engine bay

 

smells like rotten egg??

its your cat, using bad no name gas... no way to fix other than getting a new cat.

 

Could be brakes or clutch also. Dunno if thats the same smell ur getting but thats what smells on my car after a good flogging

 

i'd bet money your cat's going bad. when i was turboed, my a/f was rich as ****. everytime i'd come to a stop after boosting hard, you could smell rotten eggs from under my car ... where the cat is. I felt sorry for the people around me. but rotten eggs is a tell-tale sign of a bad catalytic converter or one that's just being clogged full of **** (i.e. rich a/f ratio).

er uh no.

its the cat going bad, not getting too hot.

and do not gut the cat. im not a tree hugger but it really does destroy the enviornment.

 

I bet a rat crawled into your tailpipe and you can imagine the rest
