My car stinks...

[2FastGT]

When I drive my car hard down the road, I can smell something that stinks like a skunk, but I can't tell what it is. I also only smell it when the windows are down...Any theories?????

something dead under your car probably


get under your car and look. also check the fan blades, small animals love radiator fans

run over any roadkill lately???

dead cats/ does you x pipe have any?

 

[2FastGT]

I've looked under the car, nothing dead, and it's only after wide open throttle... I was thinking the clutch was slipping or its the fan belt slipping, I have 55,000 miles on it.

How are you set on preventitive maintenance?

 

[2FastGT]

I get the oil changed every 3,000 miles with royal purple, that's about it...

 

[white96blown2v]

The clutch is a suspect.

 

[streetstang03]

how many miles on the car? like white said, clutch is a suspect, but if your car has low miles on it since it is an 03 it could be something else.

how long ago was the xpipe put on? is it still the protective coating burning off?

 

[triggz]

Agreed, smells like clutch. Rear end fluid is the only thing I can think of that smells like something dead. Might as well look at it for signs of leakage too though.

Is your xpipe new? New pipes smell like rotten eggs. Or perhaps something has melted to the pipe and only stinks when youre wide open and heat up the pipes real good. I had(still have) that happen with a garbage bag.

Sort of like rotten eggs? Strong sulfer smell is your cats...

The car has 55,000 miles

The x-pipe is a little over a year old
