Help With Strange Smell
 
Guys,

My Gallardo has developed a strange smell. When the engine heats up, it smells like someone dropped a deuce in the intake vent on the driver's side.

Anyone know what it could be?

Its at my tuner now for some other work (seal on my oil filter caused a leak and got my new skid plates on.) They are looking if a small animal died in the vent.

Hope not.

No idea, but that's hilarious. Sorry to hear.

Yeah, small animal or rat shit. That's what it usually is with the cars we get in.

deuce or rotten eggs? If the latter it could be catalyzer related ...

Can you elaborate on the catalyzer issue?

Maybe someone actually did drop a deuce in there.:dizzy:
Hope you get it fixed 'cause that sounds nasty.

This morning, I did not switch on the ceiling fixture and didn't smell the odor...so I asked my husband if something could be burning in the ceiling or with the wires as we haven't put up the ceiling fan yet.

As it turns out, the electrician who ran the wires for the ceiling fan left a 189 watt bulb in the fixture....just dangling from the ceiling since we didn't have the fan yet. My husband says this wattage is what they use for outdoor lighting, like street lights etc.

So we are pretty sure that since this is WAY too high of a wattage for indoor use, the bulb is heating up/almost melting the rubber coating on the wires and causing the odor...which I really hope is the problem since that is an EASY fix...

but we're still investigating...
