Hmm mine has about 6,000 mi on it starts 2nd or 3rd crank, but i know what your talking about that wierd egg smell noticed that one day. Just take it easy when your first start and drive your car, let the temp about 1 notch under half before you get on it. thats the only time i experienced the smell getting on it hard before the car was fully warmed up. Its still in open loop and maybe its just dumping extra gas. I put in 93 shell V-power here, its the 15% eth crap too =/. Once its warmed up i never notice the smell though.
