sulfur smell? knocking sound?
anyone have problem when accelarating?
My car stinks like crazy!!
I already saw an advior and they said they couldn't do anything about it.
One more thing, any of you guys have engine knocking noise(during idle, AT set at P or D. car in stop motion)? they also said it's normal but i don't think its normal, because it's def. louder than es350(loaner car)
let me know if some of you guys have same problems.
thanx

The smell of sulfur and noisy idling could be a bad Catalytic Converter. I had those very same symptoms on a Lincoln several years ago. It was a rattling sound and it did affect acceleration and performance.

Any check engine lights?
Sometimes, even if a CEL doesn't come on, within the computer itself are stored pending OBDII codes that could give a hint to what is wrong.
Perhaps the vehicle is running a bit rich or cat issue as discussed ealier.

I get the same sort of sulfur type of smell when accellerating vigorously at higher speeds. It dissapates as soon as you start cruising, but I know what you're experiencing. No, it's not normal, but, there are many unusual things that have occurred in my vehicle. Not impressed with this flagship, certainly.
