Hey guys, ive recently noticed a foul odor entering the cabin, but im not sure where its originating from. i sniffed around and noticed its not coming from the engine bay (i have a leak betwen my manifold and turbo flange, didnt smell it there) so i check my tailpipe and there it was, the odor was very similar to sulfur. any ideas what it could be? im thinking i ruined a sensor, (car is running VERY rich 10. on the afm)

it sounds like you have a failed cat converter, or your running sulfer rich gasoline. Try getting gas at another gas station and see if that helps. If that doesnt help getting a new cat and oxygen senor might help.
