Converter Smell (Sulfer)
FYI to all, (I know this should be a topic of it's own)
Toyota recently has had issues with a sulfer (rotten egg) smell with their converters. While this is usually originating from the gas you buy, somehow Toyota has linked the substrate loading and washcoat to be contributing factors.
To my knowledge, no recall has been made no has a publicly acknowledged TSB been issued. All I know is that every converter we make for service parts has had the converter changed to fix this issue. (Special service part numbers.)
Check with your dealer about this issue and see if they have a field fix part number for your front pipe. I'll check with Toyota's purchasing group to see what that part number is.
This should be convered under your emissions warranty of 7/70K.
Feel free to send me a message if you have problems.
