I'm wondering if this is common. I did a search but found nothing about "sulfur smell" or "smells like ass". Anyone else have this issue? No other symptoms -- car runs great.

edit: Some maybe useful links came up when I put "sulfur smell car" in the google: http://www.google.fi/search?q=sulfur+smell+car&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:fi%3a%6ffficial&client=firefox-aSo it could be catalytic converter related, maybe...

Batteries emit a bad smell when they boil over. Have your alternator tested. A weak alternator strains the battery causing it to overheat. Or maybe you ran over something.
