More fiber in your diet...

The stinky van needs a year model to figure out what makes it stink. We are not swami X, so we cannot read your mind. I can however, see a new O2 sensor in your future and if it is a later model WBX a Temp II sensor. So bust open a parking meter and put aside about $75 to get the two, if my physic reading is close.

Yes! Post an update describing the problem in more detail. :shock: This is bit like calling your doctor and telling him/her that you're bleeding and hanging up.

Generally a failed catalytic converter can cause an odor problem, but also can trapped rodents, bananas, bad tuning etc.
