Odd smell when doing WOT hard pulls

[Coyotes55086]

So everytime I do a hard or WOT pull in 3rd and 4th gears going higher speeds , as soon as I'm done the pull I can smell this burning almost egg sulphur type of smell in the car. It happens just about every time. Anybody have a clue what this could be?

Wow eh . Thanks for the info . Crazy , so it seems multiple people have noticed this huh .
I'll try the new gas
But if this is the o2 plugs , would that that be covered in warranty

depends on mileage & where you go and to of how a service manager might write it up. I should have clarified, check your plug sensors. How often has it been occurring and for how long?

Its occurs every hard pull I do . I've only owned the car since December . Couple months . Seems to have always done it
I've only been doing more pulls now that it's a bit better weather

Its nothing to stress about. it could be just the gas. Taking it in, I’m sure a ford tech is going to tell you it’s 100% normal. I’d first switch gas brands. Run the tank low and then switch over. If not, next I’d run premium plus put in a octane boost.

Or...maybe it’s just time to upgrade your entire exhaust system ;)

OP, 34K miles on my 2018 GT and I still smell the rotten smell once in a while when doing hard pulls.

Same here lol at first i was worried when i first got the car checked everything if something was melting or something. i think about it as a smell of adrenaline kickin in

Cat over temp anyone?

I had that and it was a leaking valve cover gasket dripping on the exhaust. Snugged the cover in a proper pattern and it stopped.

My 2019 does it, my 2012 did it, and anyone else's coyote I've ever ridden in does it. It's exhaust gases getting swirled around behind the car and making its way inside the cabin through little gaps. I've always likened it to a gunpowder smell.
