incogni2o: What kinda smell?? Rotten egg smell means your catalyst is very bad including increase in fuel consumption. Try scanning first Guess car is lazy already.. Id advise not to drive until you get this sorted out |

incogni2o:mechanics must have fiddled with the small tubular evap hoses in the engine bay. They must have incorrectly connected them or not connected at all. 1 Like |

incogni2o: Do you have issues refueling your car(I.e fuel vomiting when the dispenser nozzle is set at maximum)? It is also likely some vacuum hoses related to the Evap system is leaking/ improperly installed if previously removed |

For the benefit of future readers. I fixed it by buying that fuel injector cleaner. It doesn't smell that way again. Engine light also off. Thanks to the contributors 1 Like |

incogni2o: Nope. Problem was not solved with injector cleaner sold in a bottle . However I am glad problem was solved. But do not mislead the public onto buying snake oil. Its generally a waste of money 2 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: By the way, I traveled to IB on Friday and back same day. Engine light didn't come back on. And traveled quiet fast so keeps me a bit assured. I also didn't believe in the injector cleaner stuff before, I had the same mentality you are preaching now but this changed my mind It could be dirt the injector cleaner cleaned from the tank through the engine . Check this video. Coming from a mechanic I respect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w10f7JBjyQ |
