did u have any beans or any other sort of mexican food recently?
i have auto though. when i hit like.. 80-100 on the freeway, when i slow down to 50, i can smell it. ahh lol - chrisI have the same on my MP3.
I think its actualy the heat protection on the under side of the hood.
When i forst put onmy turbo and the Heat sheild was bend backwards it cooked the under side of that insulation and made the same smell but wy more potent. I wonder if that insulation just is not 100% resisant to the heat.

The Smell is.......
Bingo,
Yes it IS the Cat Converter on your exhaust system. Mazda even has a tech bulletin out on it about this problem which is really not one that is fixable. It has to do with the gas you use and a relatively young Cat Converter( under 50,000 miles). Most of you will only notice this smell "after" you shut off your car and get out. It is just the different gases being used in different areas that make the Cat Converter give off the 'sulfer' or rotten egg smell. According to Mazda's tech bulletin,,,,it is normal. Just nasty smellin' though!!

The Sulfer Smell
Hey mattrix,
the post is in another bulletin from "fastdrvr23" labeled "Cold Start and Roof Rack Noise"....on 4/2/03. Look for it and look down at "fastdrvr's" 4th entry with a link to service bulletins. It will be in the 3rd generation section towards the bottom.
