850TURBOpbp65

My '95 turbo has been stalling when coming to a stop/idle, and the other
day I smelled sulfur. The car starts right back up after stalling. This is
not something that happens all of the time, rather every few days. But,
when it happens once, it happens a few times. I have recently had my Mass
Air Intake sensor replaced, as well as the main hose to my turbo intake.
Does anyone know what may be causing the stalling? Knowledgeable input
appreciated.

Assuming you have no trouble codes, you should start by cleaning up the
throttle body and idle valve.

sounds like the catalytic converter is clogged. everyone thinks that when
the cat. system gets restricted that it means the vehicle wont start - from
my experience it will, and will get progressively harder over the coming
days/weeks. it may not seem sluggish, or anything to that effect- but a
plugged cat make a very specific smell - sulphur.
