excessive sulfur odor on 2007 model year Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

This sulfur smell is caused by the honeycomb like material inside the catalytic converter getting too hot - this is usually caused by driving and economy car like a race car - ease up turbo and the smell will go away, otherwise drive fast and enjoy the fragrance. ALSO - For the guy who asked on page 3 - Your low fuel light starts to blink when it is about 9.5 gallons low so the mileage should be closer to 31.58 MPG - that being said you can technically go 47.36 more miles after that light comes on, but i would fill up instead.
