Bad smell when I floor the gas pedal, 2014 ford mustang v6 with 9000km?
Its been like this for awhile now but when i floor the gas pedal (from a stop or while moving) there's a bad smell coming from the exhaust, I can't smell anything from inside the car but my friends tell me when they're behind me. They say it smells like burning, however I check the oil regularly and it still has 50% life. Btw I only do this for short distance never holding it. The dealership told me just not to floor it and it won't do it. Wasn't much help.
Flooring the pedal from a stop are you trying to burn rubber?
sound like you engine trying to food out.
Some computers can't adjust spark fast enough
Or it could be bad rings or valves
My gt has done that forever but mine doesn't have cats so it could just be a little of the exhaust the exhaust getting in the car, removed cats makes your exhaust smell really strong.
Possible leak in your exhaust system. That is EXTREMELY dangerous & really should be checked out BEFORE you pass out a the wheel & die. OR even worse, kill an innocent bystander!
Sounds like a warranty issue. If the dealer won't fix it, there are other numbers in your owners manual.
All newer cars have that rotten egg smell and its the catalytic converters getting hot. Its normal and all cars do it. It will get less as the car gets older. You can only smell it when your following a car and don't smell it inside the car.
- WHAT WRONG? No lecture$. LHF brakes metal to metal week+ Today pedal goes to floor No brake power until almost bottom out Fluid not low? 05 AWD Ford Freestyle. Besides grinding all around brakes were fine. Now noise is close to negligible. Replacing Front pads/rotors tomorrow. A must to bleed now? Air in system? Caliper?
- Entire car loses power when we floor the gas. Gauges reset until we let off gas. (still drives) 02 ford mustang. The car loses power to everything. (Except what's needed for the vehichle to stay running.) Can still drive it. What are possible problems? (AC does not affect anything )
- Looking to buy a car privately which hasn't been serviced in 4 years but only 9000km (they bought the car brand new)? As above. the car is a Ford EcoSport 1.5 titanium it has 9000km only but they say they've never had it serviced? should I stay away from this car? also, since there's no service history could this be a case of odometer roll back fraud?
- Let the master cylinder run dry and now the brake pedal goes to the floor when I turn the car on. Is air still in the system? I pulled the car out of storage and i noteced the left front caliper was leaking so I replaced the caliper. The only problem was the master cylinder ran dry. I bleed the brakes three times. I did not see any air in the lines after I bleed them a third time. When the car is off the brake pedal gets rock hard when the pedal ia depressed about half way. With the car on the brake pedal goes to the floor. Would this be cause by air in the system? The car is a 03 ford focus.
