SULFER ODOR FROM EXHAUST

Applicable Models

0002146 Dealer Repair Information

Sulfur remaining in the burned gases is oxidized by the catalytic       
converter creating hydrogen sulfide which gives off a sulfur odor. This 
odor does not mean that there is a problem with the performance or      
function of the vehicle.                                                
                                                                        
As miles are accumulated on the vehicle, there will be a moderation in  
the oxidizing effect of the catalytic converter which will weaken this  
odor.  NOTE: This will not effect the converters capability to meet     
exhaust regulations.  If a customer complains about a sulfur odor coming
 from their Protege's                                                   
exhaust, recommend that they try a different brand or type of gasoline  
from what they are currently using.
