My wifes 1998 Honda Accord EX 2.3L 4cyl 5Spd, gets a Sulfur "Car fart" smell in the cabin after about 5 minutes of driving.


Does Anybody know what might be causing this? What parts do I need to replace to fix it???


I'm used to working on my 1996 Chevy pickup. Never really done much under the hood of the Honda.

Any help or advice will be much appreciated.

i want to say thats a cat problem but im not sure i havent looked at the table mat at my checker in a while.....

 

Check and see you have oil leaking. I had a bad smell in my 94 Accord, and did not know where it was coming from, until I had a new muffler put on and the guy told me that I had a lot of oil leaking on my exhaust pipe and that what the smell was, said he had the same problem that is why he knew what that smell was. I knew I needed a valve cover gasket, and this could be where the oil leak was coming from. I put on a new valve cover gasket, have not smelled it since.

 

it could be the cat convert like Lightshow said,, Honda had some issues with them, they extended the warranty to . i believe 85k miles,, you might want to give the local Honda delaer a call.....

 

Hi there LightShow. What is the Table Mat in your checker???

Cat converter seems to be what most people are saying. She also just threw a PO420 code which seems to be liked to the Cat converter failing.

Does Honda have a Recall or Tech service bulletin on this issue?? Some have said that they extened the Warranties to 85K miles for this issue. What about pre-owned Honda's? Are they covering the fix for 2nd owners???

Thanks for all the help so far.
