08 Catalytic converter
Hi guys,
I posted on here about 2 months ago asking if I should get one of these and got nothing but glowing remarks. So far, I’m thrilled with the car! Pic with the Honda homie 😎 (the only photo of this car I have lol)
It’s a little more on the “miley” side, closing in on 260k. Since buying it, I’ve noticed a slight rattle in the heat shield upon acceleration that I am going to get addressed simply because I don’t want to hear it any longer. While they’re looking at that I was going to have them look at my catalytic converter(s).
ONLY at operating temperature if I step on it and stay in the gas up to 80+ mph, I’ll get a bit of the rotten egg smell in my cabin, which will then subside in a minute or two after continued normal driving.
My main concern is I am about to go on a 14 hour road trip and I don’t know if this will cause me issues after extensive driving. The longest I’ve driven this car one direction so far is 3 hours. At the 2+ hour mark, my center console area was WARM to the touch.
The car’s thermometer has never been past roughly 1/3. It runs and drives wonderfully other than the ghetto ass rattle upon takeoff. No stuttering, skips in acceleration or heat issues.
Has anyone come across this before? I’d like to take care of this before it causes a bigger issue for me (if there even is an issue)
TIA, all responses welcome.
