Hey guys! I have recently begun to experience a slight mileage drop (16.2 MPG to 15.5) and that rotten egg like exhaust smell. I have also noticed that it can be a little difficult to get up to speed (sometimes I have to press the pedal to the floor) and there are some jerks.
I think these have the potential to be related, so I want to deal with that exhaust smell first. My suspicion is that this is a bad O2 sensor and / or catalytic converter. I was able to snag some O2 sensor voltage data with a scanner, but I am having a little difficulty understanding what they should be at. Generally I have seen 0.1 to 0.8 on the first sensor in either bank. According to the data I pulled, mine are ranging from 0.02 to 0.8. Am I right in thinking this is not correct?
I attached two files that contain the sensor data. The first is from a cold start. The second begins after the engine was up to temp.
Thanks in advance for the assist!
