I any answers from anyone as to why my JK stinks so bad when I get down on gas pedal, and what I can do about it, thx for any help with this

 

What does it smell like? gas, exhaust, burnt carbon, ext..

 

Mainly like burnt carbon out of the three, just smelly, was wondering if it's the catalytic converter or smthn else that I could fix myself, thx for the response

 

Catalytic converter will sometimes smell like a rotten egg or a bad fart if that's the culprit.

I get a burnt carbon smell when hammering the pedal/needle getting on the highway. It doesn't last long, but very noticeable.

 

I get the same thing when merging to highway speeds. Its so bad that a few friends that heve been driving behind me have noticed as well.

 

What years are your Jeeps? It hasn't happened on my 2014. But I did have a 2013 for 6 months with a similar smell when getting on the gas. I pulled the plastic cover off the top of the engine and found pieces of electrical tape there. I removed them and after a month or so the problem went away.

 

2012 Rubi 2dr. Will look for loose electrical tape...

 

It's a 2012 sahara JK with 37000 mls on it, thx for reply

 

Mine is a 2014 Sport. Its mostly a metallic smell I get.
