alot of the time when im trying to accelerate fast or just go fast after i slow down it smells like burning matches and sometimes worse. Im guessing its the transmission or the cluth but im a newbie so disregard that remark unless im right :pimp:

check the belts, check the trans and engine fluid levels.
Look around the engine for any leaks.

My guess is your tranny fluid, it can smell like poopy when it's burning.
thats awesome, no not really, aand thank you to everyone that has helped me with this question

its probably just fumes from the engine.. its a 17 year old car with a carb that probably doesnt run right, thats what i think it is.. i know my car stinks for a bit after i mat it for any length of time...
im running 400 000 km's tho.. so that might do it

ya what the funny thing is I just bought some stp fuel system cleaner and now i get 270 miles a tank instead of my old 190 something, If I would have knew that all i had to do was spend 10 dollars on some liquid to clean the injectors i would have done it when i first got the car!!!

Yea 280,000 miles on the stock cat. Those stupid things can really smell bad. It is probably getting plugged.
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
You're not burning the fuel properly... or you're not getting the right fuel mixture.

so is it the cat?
"I woke up in a japanese families wreck room,... And they would not stop yelling!.."
if i get a upgraded one, what does it improve besides the smell?

r u still running original carb?? check the valve cover gasket mines gone and oil leaks out a bit and burns off my header especially when i'm driving in secondary stage it smells like burning replacing it next weekend with clutch
its not how fast you go, its how fast you get going.
yeah Im still running the original carb, is the valve cover gasket the thing that keeps the oil from getting out cause if so I have already replaced that so I dont think that is the problem.

I have a carbie and it makes the burning smell you described, I think it comes from the motor leaning out while driving hard

if it smells like burning matches (or rotten eggs) thats more like a sulpher smell and that indicates that the cat is going out. Ever get behind a car and it smells like a load of rotten eggs just got dumped? Thats the indication that the cat is going/gone. Punch it out and your problem is solved! (unless you have DEQ inspections of course....)

oh ok thanks man do you know if there is any difference between a oem cat of a performence one like pacesetter or something, and whats the average price for these bad boys
