Smelly engine (Black-top 20valve 4age)

[Lanci]

Hi all,

After I drive my Carib hard(ish) it starts to smell very strongly of sulphur (Rotorua like). I'm not too sure if its the engine or the clutch however my gear shifts a clean and I don't ride it so I think its the clutch. Has anyone else found that this happens with their engines? (Note: only mods to engine appears to be a full trd exhaust)

Much appreciated

Lance

has it got the catconverter in the exhaust, long shot since its TRD, but it could be that if its there

Sulpher smell from the exhaust is a cat converter side effect.

Yeah I get the same smell in my shed after putting the Commodore away when its hot but not the Lancer as it hasn't got a cat any more.

It's not actually a problem.
It's the cat converter working properly when the car is running the correct mixture.

If it semlls like that it's actually a sign that everything is in good condition.
