Engine problems, Help
ok so i have an 06 ss/sc and latley it starts sputtering while im driving, and the when i stop it wants to just die all together and there is this horrible smell. i have noticed that this happens when it rains really bad, but im not a mechanic. The only mod i have is an injen cold air intake, I had thought that it might be taking water into the engine,but im unsure. Any one else had the happen?

Yeah sounds like a cat, I'm probably less of a mechanic then OP, but this happened to my friends highlander and we thought it was the cats but it ended up being his timing belt/chain thing being off by a few teeth, but we do have poop cats

mine did that before the cat went bye bye lol, the cats have a 80 ks warranty on them, and some special recalls upto 120 ks if u fall into any of these catorgories take it the dealer...
my car's symptoms when my cat was clogged :
* Bad Smell
* Sputtering
* Boost Over 20 psi on Stage 2 lol
