Wierd question. How come when I stomp on the throttle, especially on the e-way (higher speeds) I get a tone of engine smell that resembles someone lighting a bunch of matches? Had same occurance with a 99 Cobra I owned. Is this normal? Thanx for any help.

the cats cause this. (no not the pets either).. when they get hot they smell like rotten eggs

 

I got 16,000+ miles on my 00 and never ever had that smell before. If i were i would get it checked it.

 

Doesnt really remind me of eggs........more sulferuric in a way.

 

i get the same smell, and i really like it. it seems to smell right after the s/c runs. when i had my intercooler replaced i asked them about it, and they also said it had to do with the cats. its a different smell than a carb, but it makes me think of my mustang, because when u open it up u get that gas smell. which is the #1 reason i wont put an EFI system on my 66 stang.
