i dunno if its a o2 sensor. you just running rich. and fuel hits the cats and gets converted to that smell.
you should get it checked on obd2. if its a 96+
to see if its a o2 sensor. its not worth paying 55 dollars for the bottom ones. and 65 for the upstream. i believe auto zone gives free scans. and their almost everywhere.
Experience is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting the lesson.
Why do you need the cats when u have dogs
