i'm a little pissed [:@] that my '05 3.5SE max has begun to literally stink when i accelerate rapidly. if i am passing a slower motorist or trying to get off the line at a light quickly, i get a nasty sulfurous smell in my car. i doesn't matter if the AC or vent are on or if the windows are down, i still smell it. has anyone else smelt this??? i'm only a little over 32K miles.
thanks

I have a 2004 with the six speed, and once in a while when I'm in the wrong gear and get on it, I get a smell, but not like sulfer, more like clutch. If it's a sulfer smell, sounds kinda like the catilytic coverter?

 

I guess malfunctionin Cat /non burning /too rich mixture could be the cause. It should be covered by warranty.

 

my ride is a 5 speed auto, so i doubt that it's a tranny issue. but thanks for the input.

 

cool, thanks for the theory[sm=goodidea.gif]. i will be sure to ask the service dept. to check on it when i take it in. hopefully i can get to it within a few weeks. too much to do right now with the holidays. i'll let you know how it turns out.

The smell is going to a normal condition, not much that can be done. Air fuel alpha's will be in spec. No check engine light?

 

its the cadalitic converter kinda smells like rotten eggs???? let me know.
