90 Ford Ranger 2.9 exhaust smells like sulpher?
Now it just has no power and dies while driving it but usually starts right back up. Sometimes I do have to wait a while before it starts.
A sulfur odor could be a bad catalytic converter. I'm not sure about the other symptoms. It has "no power," but you can drive it?
LOL what I mean by no power, it has no pick up when you push on the gas, and not knowing if this helps but the problem usually occurs when I going up a hill
Check Engine Light on? You mean 2.3L? Sulfur or rotten eggs is too much gas being processed by the catalytic converter at one time, so your bogging out your motor.
MAF/MAP sensor bad, cam/crank position sensor, injectors leaking, FPR bad, and ECU bad.
Your catalytic converter is bad. You need to replace it. You won't pass your next emissions inspection.
Your air fuel mixture IS OFF KITER! Ez FIX! All fORD ENGIENS HA RMOEABLE idle ai control vlaves for cleaning upT is YOUR bad OIL CHOICES that casue this issue! USING an 8mm wrench, remove the IAC VALVE and lean it thoroughly with GUMOUT SPRAY and AMSOIL POWER FOAM! THis will restore the roper AIR addition since yours is JAMBED OPEN o CLOSD right now! Uwse BOSCH or DENSO IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS and use the AMSOIL POWER FOAM to clean your INTAKES PXV and THROTTLE BODY to SHOWROOM CLEAN! You willgain up to 20 % in MILEAGE and POWER as the proper AIR/FUEL balance is restored to factory new or BETTER conditions! NEVER se VALVOLINE OIL as it is the CAUSE of hyour woes! NEVER use DELCO plugs either, they wastge energy and fuel! USING BOSCH or DENSO IRIDIUM plugs willturn your engine ULLY ON! ANd MOBIL ONE or PENNZOIL ULTRA EURO will clean as you DRIVE! TOADY we NOW have EUROEPAN GRADE low sulphu fuels, an IRIDIUM reats t the molecuola levels! GOOD KLUCK!
Cat converter probably needs to be replavced. See a mechanic.
Too many armchair mechanics here that have no knowledge or experience and guess at things! If the converter was plugged the engine wouldn't run. If the converter didn't work, it wouldnt make the sulphuric acid smell. It's doing its job, but your engine has a fuel system problem. It's too rich. You probably have black soot inside your tailpipe.
Chris has the right answer. Robert too.
Ben, Brian, Al and sc0rpyo don't have a clue.
And YOU need to get your car to a mechanic!
- Wouldn't women like Dr. Ford feel safer when they were drunk if OSHA stopped violent men like those in the NFL from hitting each other? And calling it play. Shouldn't women have that right to feel safe? You can call this "highlight films" but they are just rich men being violent which a civilized government would stop
- Why do some companies like Ford have a 5year warranty and others like Hyundai have a 10year warranty? Does the company with the longer warranty trust in their product longer? Or they know that the owner will have to do a ton of repairs and without a back up no one would ever buy them?
- Which exhaust/exhaust system would work best for my car? I own a 1970 Ford Torino (Brougham) with a 351 Cleveland engine running on stock exhaust. I want to upgrade the exhaust (I'm thinking Flowmaster) but like, does the whole exhaust system need to be done, or like half? I need your help making my baby roar lol. Please give me your best suggestions and approximate cost.
- Ford Taurus smells hot after driving? I have a '99 Ford Taurus SE, 24 valve V6 It smells hot when we get home from any trips. I constantly have to check the oil in it. The car dealer we got it from had a newer engine put in it after it ran out of oil and seized up. I swear I did regular maintenance to it. 5 quarts of oil burns pretty fast inside a month. Something was wrong with the first engine. Are these engines notorious for problems? It's the only thing we have ever had issues with on the car.
