	I have an '86 Honda Civic.  It is the first car I've owned
with a catalytic converter.  The problem I have is that the first
time I stop after starting it when it is cold, the cab fills up
with the odor of hydrogen sulfide.  Is this normal for these
converters?  Can anything be done about it?  A friend of mine
has a new ('85 or '86) American wagon which does the same thing.
How come I haven't notice this smell when riding in other
peoples cars?  Is this new for '86, or does it go away after a
few miles?

Thanks,
Adnan Yaqub @ Allen-Bradley Co.
