BAd sulfer smell 100k

[Big_John]

Well the 4runner is fast approaching 100k. I just had a major service at the stealership but got a "good deal" on the timing belt replacement. Anyway lately the truck (v8) when under heavy acceleration puts out a nasty sulfur smell. I ran the tank to near empty and tried gas from a different place, no change. Any thoughts? is the Catalytic going on me?

I don't mean to be a wise a** but "lately"? I think they all stink. I think some folks go get new cats per the TSB and then within a few months the stink is back, especially under heavy acceleration. If you are talking about being able to drive with the back window down then I think the only way to do it is to click on the link in my sig for Tailpipe.
