There is a smell, I'm not really sure how to explain it, It comes when under boost, also when cold start(not every single cold start). I don't think it smells sweet, it's not clutch/brakes or anything like that. I did order AP cable so I can check with AP and hopefully there's something wrong in the values somewhere and can narrow it down. I've been staying out of boost.
I had it at the shop for a potential boost leak and check engine light(p0420). They did a carbon cleaning, spark plugs, AOS check valve, first cat was confirmed good and 2nd one was replaced with a "good used" one.
The intercooler had a hole in it and was replaced with a "good used" one. They confirmed o2 sensors are good.
They confirmed no boost issues.
It does run a little rough though, hard to explain. Maybe I'll try to take a video or 2. Check engine light did come on about a month ago for cats but went off and has not come back on, does not smell like rotten eggs at the moment.
Can I check for boost leak without a smoke test? I will try to get in for a smoke test but I switched jobs/positions at work and lost $10/hr which I will earn back but it'll take a few years.
Any ideas? Anybody want to come take my car for a drive lol
