Sulfer smell from a 96 SL1

After we drive our Saturn for awhile ( maybe 10-20 minutes) we notice a
sulfur smell coming from the engine compartment. We have taken it in to have
it checked by our local dealer and they said it was the O2 sensor. We had
this replaced but the smell is still there. Anybody out there having this
same problem?

Thanks,
Marc

 

Have you changed where you get your gas lately? Fuels vary in sulfur content
and sometimes they leave deposits in the catalytic converters. There used to
be an additive that you could add to the gas which helped to remove the
deposits. This was for the 'rotten egg' smell of hydrogen Sulfide. Can't
remember the name or maker of the additive though. Hope somebody else can
elaborate on this.

Had the rotten egg smell before with my '67 Camero. It was the battery regulator not stopping the battery from charging when fully charged! Almost blew up the battery from over charging it.
