Over the last couple of days while sitting at idle after a 10 mile or so drive i noticed my exhaust has been stinkin. Wa b up with that ? A not so pleasant smell which makes me wonder is something screwing up. Anyone got a possible cause ? I'm about to bring it in for it's first oil change and i suppose i'll have too bring this to the dealers attention.. I just don't want them tinkering with stuff if they don't need to....

 

raw egg smell by any chance?

 

ya or sumtin very similar, it caught my attention real quick let's put it that way..

 

rotten egg smell is usually a plugged cat. How is your mileage? Has it changed any? Another thing to consider is where you bought ur gas last time. THe sulfur in our crap gas reacts at a certain temp i think its 600degrees. Releases hydrogen sulfide which is prolly what your smelling. Change gas stations and see if the problem goes away.

 

I agree, sounds like catylic converter. That smell is wiked bad, I don't envy you my friend.

 

the smell is intermitten, i notice it every other day or so, and i get my fuel at the same station always. Shell ( if that matters )
my mileage is actually very good, better then the mileage i got with my 4.0 Jeep Cherokee Sport..
