Lincolns Own January 18th, 2006, 04:05 PM the other night, i jumped on the highway and put the petal to the floor, i got up to about 120mph, and then coasted at about 100-105 for 1/4 of a mile. when i got home, (2 min from highway) i noticed a "rotton egg" smell, kinda like sulfer. then i also noticed little "popping" sounds coming from under the car. i always hear the sound after my dad comes home from driving his bronco but i NEVER herd it on the lincoln. what is it? and is this bad?:confused:
JC1994 January 18th, 2006, 04:13 PM You got the catalytic convertor hot, the popping sound you heard was the exhaust cooling off. No problem.
Lincolns Own January 18th, 2006, 04:38 PM yay, i was scared for a minute. i hardly ever run the car hard so i didnt know if i pushed it too far! thanks for clearing that up :)
JC1994 January 18th, 2006, 04:59 PM No problem, I have experienced the same thing on my car when getting on it and then stopping shortly after. that rotten egg smell is nasty.
kissedvfd January 18th, 2006, 09:05 PM The sulfer smell is typical of rich exhaust gases and the reason the cat got so hot.

if you want to know if you pushed it too far, just ask me. Iv pushed everything too far once or twice.

Aging O2 sensors are the main culprit for something like this.
Lincolns Own January 22nd, 2006, 07:59 AM does this mean they could be getting close to being bad? and needing replaced?

Mike, we don't have a lounge here just anything goes!!!

Sorry for the "confusion", we have a lounge over on another forum that I'm on. I guess you could change that to "The Bar" for the gold members. Either way, we don't need the language.

94m5 January 22nd, 2006, 07:14 PM If the car has a few miles on it, it could never hurt. After a while, the sensors lose sensitivity, and mileage can suffer a bit.
Lincolns Own January 22nd, 2006, 07:15 PM ok, thanks for the info :)
