Re: 2004 Accord Exhaust Smell
I have a 2003 Accord V6 6 speed, and I'm having this same problem. My Honda
service center keeps telling me it's due to high sulfur content in the fuel
in this area of the country (Nebraska). If that's the case, why aren't
other vehicles on the road having this same problem? It's really
frustrating to have bought a brand new $26K car and have to constantly
deal with this smell. I'm so disappointed in my "reliable" honda purchase.
I've had tons of other problems with this car too (they've replaced the
tranny twice), and only have 4500 miles on it. I was such a loyal Honda
customer, but this experience has turned me away.

This is an odd problem that I have NOT seen mentioned before. I suggest
that you take the car to another Honda dealership and talk to the service
manager. I believe that there may be something wrong with the cat.
coverter or muffler. You should NOT be having this problem. They may be
able to hook it up to the same equipment they use for the smog inspections
and quickly determine whether there is something wrong. If they will not
help you, your vehicle might be considered a lemon and covered under the
lemon laws. If your vehicle is not covered under warranty--take it to a
business that specializes in smog inspections.

Hi,
I do beleive that it is a problem with the sulfur content in some
manufacturers gas, I have a 2004 EXL I4 and have used one particular gas
station for the last several years without any problems until I purchased
the new car and started having the sulfur burnoff smell. I took it back to
the dealer and it was recommended that I try a different gas station to rule
out excess sulfur and after about 2 tankfulls at a different station the
smell is gone and has not come back.
I think that part of the problem lies with the stringent emission standards
to qualify as an ultra low emmissions vehicle versus any defect in the
design as a good friend of mine has a 2004 Camry that experienced the exact
same symptoms and changing fuel cleared up his problem as well. A lot of it
boils down to tolerances in design and I do think that Japanese cars are
built to a lot stricter and tighter tolerances than their North American
competitors as any N.A. car I have owned in the past couldn't even get panel
gaps to be even from start to finnish.
Just my personal experiences.
Cheers,
Glynn
