NEW Cat Converter suddenly 'smelly'
Question:
I've recently installed a new OEM cat in my '87 2.3-16, and didn't notice much smell from it at first. However, my tech just bumped up my mixture a bit, and now I can smell myself as I come to a stop or back up on the fumes.
My question is, could this mean I'm running too rich (I know, test it with a meter!) and am burning through the cat, or is this just normal cat smell produced from high speed runs that I hadn't noticed at first?
Say I was running WAY rich and WAS burning the cat, would this be the smell that would result (typical egg / sulfer smell of cats)? Just curious, don't want to fry that $ cat!
Thoughts? Thanks!
