Does your GT smell rich when warming it up?

So I've noticed when i start my car in the garage it kind of smells like it's running rich and stinks up the garage a little. It only does this when it's sat overnight and the engine is stone cold. Probably normal right?

I think Normal, part of Start-up trying to get the Cats Hot...

That's because IT IS running rich, a purposely designed feature to get the engine warmed up quicker. Also, cold cats are highly inefficient...so it takes a little while before they warm up and actually do their job in cleaning up the exhaust fumes and other shit.

Thanks guys. Figured it was normal. Just been a while since I smelled anything besides my stinky diesel truck.

also throws some extra fuel in there as the cold shiz doesn't burn very well

Mine has always done that. I would say it's normal.

It always runs rich when cold plus the rpm stays above 1000 with touchy throttle response! Its like a hungry beast waking up and calming down when time goes by lol

Try starting after its been sitting for a few months in minus degree temps... lol the whole garage was full of smoke for me last weekend.
