Or, you might've left eggs in your car and they're rotten.

rotten egg smell is sulfer- check for yellow sandy build up on your battery. that's filled with H2SO4-hydrosulpheric acid

Maybe you farted in your car? A couple of times I farted in my car, the car smelled like rotten eggs.

I had a cat go bad and it smelled like rotten eggs... it was a 86 rx7

frictionfighter · 09-13-2007, 04:05 PM

H2SO4 is sulfuric acid, not hydro sulphuric acid, sorry chean.

airbrush1 · 09-13-2007, 06:37 PM

RX7's always smell like rotten eggs....

NA8CSon · 09-13-2007, 06:39 PM

yeah, generally when the cat goes bad, it almost always smell like rotten eggs or sulfur.

jjserafin · 09-13-2007, 09:19 PM

good looking for all your info,....do you think missing a gasket between an after market headers and the kat will be the problem?

the smog guy told me that i'm injecting to much fuel and it's going to the exhast and shit and it's burning the fuel and that's whats making the smell....

could also just be a little transmission fluid... fowl smelling stuff.

eunos1 · 09-14-2007, 03:56 PM

Roadkill??? Melting possum??? I work in paper mills pretty often and you get used to the sulfur smell. Dont let that happen to your car or no one will ever ride with you!!!!!

NA8CSon · 09-14-2007, 08:52 PM

you might be running overly rich and that will definitely ruin your cat, which will cause the exhaust to smell badly. have you noticed any drop in fuel mileage? if so thats probably the cause.
