cabin exhaust -like smell

by **NJsolaraguy** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 9:49 am

I know this topic was brought up before but does anyone know if it is a significant problem or not? When i floor it i get it and so do many other people. Does anyone know the exact cause?

i get the same exact smell. I think it may be due to the cat being old or plugged up. Not exactly sure but it smells like a$$ and would like a fix as well.

I get that in my Sienna and Solara. I always thought it was just cause I floored it and got close to redline. The motions got to cause some sort of smell.

simple solution... dont floor it

My old car used to do that.... turned out there was a hole in the exhaust line underneath the cabin..... dunno if that'll help or not, but its easy to look for.

i get that all the time when i floor it. it's probably just the catalytic being overwhelmed with the increase amount of floor thru there. can't wait to get those headers and get rid of that cat.
