AC smell

When I change the Cabin Filter, I will spray either Lysol of HVAC Cleaner as far into the system as I can through the filter opening. I will also spray into the system through the cabin vents and the intake vents under the hood.

I live in Aruba and also have the same problem but only after speeding with the car. It seems like exhaust fumes just find a way through the vents however its smells like rotten eggs. Driving under normal conditions has not produced that smell.

I used to have the smell when I had the original carbon-impregnated filter (which they ended up not selling anymore due to complaints of a musty odor), but when I changed it out for just a mechanical cabin air filter, haven't had any smells since.
But I don't know if that's what you folks are talking about

I think this is a design issue with Toyota cars. I drive my 2IS only twice a week and I get that foul smell almost at every start up. My previous 1IS had similiar problem but just not as bad.
Never experienced the same problem with BMW, Audi, or Honda.
