Rancid smell @high speeds
Hi there Cl. Whenever I'm in high rpm's my car cabin and engine smells like rotten eggs or something idk but it smells bad. It usually starts to smell when I hop on the freeway and I'm driving on the onramp to match the freeway speeds. Basically anytime I speed up fast sometimes slow. I would like to know if anyone can help me with this thanks for the help.

nothing to worry about, this is quite common with toyota vehicles. This is observed with their catalytic converters (which are supposed to help).
A good comparison is some of the people on the forum who have "cat-less" setups who get this "unburnt fuel smell" more common than those who only experience it at high rpm's once and a while

From Google : "There's sulfur in fuel additives; your engine isn't burning it completely and your catalytic converter is storing it and then releasing it as hydrogen sulfide when you add load to the engine and force more air through.
Try switching gas stations, or fuel grades; then try a thorough tune-up: replace the spark plugs, plug wires, fuel and air filters, and oxygen sensor, and clean the fuel injectors.
If that doesn't do it, replace your converter."
