Rotten egg smell stalls when press on gas

Post by Sbolser »

My check engine light came on had the codes read said MAF sensor. Replaced the sensor new it starts then when press on gas it stalls. I got it home seems like the gas gauge goes down and smell like rotten eggs. This is a 2002 s60 2.4 turbo with 184,000 miles.

Your catalytic converter is "toast'' - I gave this 2 seconds thought …
These are good for 100-200 K miles, give or take .
unburned gas yields the ''rotten eggs(sulfur) smell.
The codes are of limited value - can be confusing ..
