Ok I have to declare that I nearly lost one of my friends after he got stuck behind my car. Not cuz i was driving too fast but due to the "god AWEFUL smell" coming from the end of my car's exhaust. Which by the way I know smokes slightly but hes right in that aspect of the smell. Most cars dont have much of a smell but my car is really bad ! Help no clue what to do !

My old TR had a really really strange off-putting smell and I copped a lot of **** for it.. lol.. a mechanic told me to change my oxygen sensor. Does your check engine light ever come on momentarily? Mine used to, but when ya booted the acclerator it disappeared.. not sure what the go was.

normally if your cat converter is dead it you will get a rotten egg smell, so the exhaust shops tell me. Any clues as to what it smells like???
