Re: Sulfer Smell

There are many previous models and years of Toyotas (and other brands) that have been cured of this exact problem. If it is the same cause, it is most obnoxious when you are accelerating or immediately after when you have heated up the catalytic converter and the stored sulfur burns off the catalyst. It doesn't take much to form a noticeable smell.
