For Those of you

Who have went into limp mode...after being in limp mode, does your car smell like rotten eggs? My friends car went into limp mode..he turned the car on and off twice and it was out of limp mode...but smells like rotten eggs...Has anyone ever experienced that or knows what's going on? I'm thinking the pcm is just throwing lots of fuel into the engine because of it being in limp mode.

My car has actually been doing this very often lately, but not rotten egg smell. Its getting very annoying. It only happens when i let the car sit for only a minute to warm up in the cold weather. Now i let it warm up to about 80 or 90 before i start driving. Started happening after i went from the intake mod to the stock intake.
