Re: Rough Idle & Gas/Exhaust Smell

StevenZ/amigo-2k,

I have had my exhaust completely replaced my exhaust (excluding the catalytic converter) and have replaced my EGR valve, and cleaned the throttle body, along with all the other crap in my first post. The damn thing is STILL idling rough and I can STILL smell exhaust fumes when sitting at a stop. But, this damn car isn't giving any kind of warning/check engine light. So, I have to assume, maybe incorrectly, that if I take it somewhere to have them do a diagnostic, they won't get any codes, since the check engine light isn't on. Am I wrong?

I may look into the intake manifold gasket. I'm now thinking that maybe my catalytic converter is going out and it's not allowing the exhaust fumes to flow through it as their supposed to. But, who the flip knows...

Anyway, if either of you, or anyone else has any suggestions through experience, please feel free to chime in.

Thanks,
Kenny
