i was driving back from nigeria falls and i started smelling rotten eggs…no it was not a fart but it was my car. i know that when un-burned gas gets to the cat it creates that odor. i just need to know why it did that, if ther is smething wrong with my car and if ther is how to fix it. its a 92 paseo. i was going about 75 at 2400 rpm with the over drive on. ---

Unless you notice this all the time it is not your car. If it were your car it would be accompanied by a misfire or something to cause this. If nothing odd happened then it is your atmosphere. Like someone said the NOCO tanks or the sewage plant near the 198. If you had a higher content sulfur gas it would cause this as well and would be normal. However you would notice this all the time. ---

it’s probably from trying to race your paseo. don’t suppose something along the lines of a HUGE intake, upgraded exhaust, and 100 octane could cause this smell out of your car? ---

On a serious note, my girls car started to smell really bad like sulfur and it ended up being her alternator blowing up, go figure. That is tomorrows project.
