    Any update on this OP? Idk if my nose is playing tricks on me or my chronic allergies, but I may be starting to smell something suspicious too. Like a sort of gas or propane like previously mentioned. Only noticed so far when on the freeway so that’s why I’m not sure. I’m probably a few weeks away from hitting 300k. P0420 CEL is now constantly on for past few weeks where as it would usually come and go before.

    No update yet. I've been too busy(lazy) to mess with it. Not really sure where to go, probably going to get it into a shop soon tho. Honestly at this point, a CEL would make me feel better.
