I have a 2016 LX-P Coupe with about 6k miles .
I have noticed that when I suddenly accelerate to pass on the highway or climb an incline, I sometimes notice a gas or sulfur odor. Is this normal?
What would be the source?
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks

Isn't that just normal catalytic convertor operation?

That is normal. It's a chemical byproduct of a rich fuel mixture, which is to be expected under hard acceleration or WOT.
