Your catalyst is dead. Take the car to a panel beater. |

Every modern car fitted with a cat does it especially on harsh acceleration but when the smell is really bad that means the cats are old or damaged and may need replacement. |

Guy please don't listen to anybody except Gazzuzz....... Your car is in fine condition and the cat is doing exactly what it is designed to do. Thank me later. |

banky3w: you mean i should keep perceiving the smell ? |
Re: Please Help Tokumbo Car Smells On Acceleration by Lexusgs430: 7:30pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
HumphreyBold: Stop accelerating hard........ |
Re: Please Help Tokumbo Car Smells On Acceleration by banky3w(m): 9:02pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
Lexusgs430:Exactly! Stop accelerating hard bro. You will surely get to desired speed with a smooth acceleration in almost the same time as your hard acceleration. Besides, smooth acceleration reduces wear and tear of your engine......... |

banky3w: True. Not unless he thinks he is driving a Supra or GT86..... |
Re: Please Help Tokumbo Car Smells On Acceleration by mayor2013: 10:22pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
This topic is getting interesting. Your cat is as good as gone. I accelerate hard on cars that has undergone thorough work at the workshop and I never perceive this smell. Perhaps this catarrh won't let be just be |

HumphreyBold: The smell of rotten eggs is due to a compound called hydrogen sulfide. This comes from the small amount of sulfur that is present in the fuel. Normally the sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxide, which has no odor. When the converter breaks or the filtering layers have worn down inside the converter, the sulfur is not transformed into the odorless form. Therefore a strong rotten egg smell is produced. Another possible cause for this smell may be that the converter is plugged. Unfortunately you cannot repair a converter but need to have it completely replaced. Two other causes of rotten eggs besides a broken catalytic converter include an engine that is running too hot or a broken fuel pressure regulator. You can easily deal with the fuel pressure regulator by replacing the fuel filter. Interpretation ---- Stop accelerating hard (start saving for a cat) or buy air wick (to mask the rotten egg smell, incase you decide to drive hard again) or keep you window up, when hard driving temptation arises or also eat boiled egg (it counters the rotten egg smell)................. Or better still, have your vehicle scanned .......................... |

another angle to all this is rear impact damage not fixed properly, causing fumes to enter from leaks in the boot/rear area. |

GAZZUZZ:This is true, loads of folks here are guilty as charged |
