1998 sonata rotten egg smell
can anyone solve my prob?
from time to time I get a rotten egg smell from my exhaust it will last for approx 1 hr and it goes. It might be three day's before it returns. I have asked a hyundai dealer if it is common problem and they can't or won't help otherwise it's a great car. Any suggestions please |
Re: 1998 sonata rotten egg smell
Although manufacturers are typically not willing to divulge this, the
amount of nickel in the converter can affect this. Hyundai will not release this type of part update info to anyone in this country, so I have no way of determining whether a new converter will solve the problem. To start, have someone very familiar with the product check it to see if all the fuel management data appear correct. If ok, try switching gas stations. Sulfur content in the fuel can affect the odor. Your catalytic converter is currently working properly, since you have no check engine lamp. 1998 models are required to monitor catalyst efficiency. If nothing is found amiss, I'd recommend living with the odor. I think that's better than attempting an expensive repair which may accomplish little or even make the condition worse. |
