do you have an exhaust? Im having the some problem but I have a BMP exhaust that removes one of the cats. I thought that problem was going away but there it was again today after a nice romp with a z28 on the way to work. Im starting to get worried.
I glad its not just me -nick |

by your own admissions,that would be your emissions. My check engine light light has been on for three weeks. I'm waiting for the dealer to tell me that they got my third catalytic converter. Waiting to see how long it takes to chew this one up. But the dealer does'nt seem to want to find the actual problem so i'll just let them give me another catalytic conver for free.
No they are not free, but they are under warranty for 7 years. I figure at this rate i should go through about ten of them. |

A rotten egg smell can be produced from your car running really rich, also whenever I blow an O2 sensor my exhaust really stinks until I get the O2 sensor replaced.

I hope it isn't my O2 sensor..I only have 3500 miles on the car!!!!! It's coming up for my 3750 service, I'll see what they think. They'll probably jerk me around...a-holes at Hatfield!!!! I heard it was the gas but I never had this problem with my POS Neon...lol..Of course I don't think it had 3 cat-converters either...lol..
