Default Uh, what is this smell?

Hey all,

Just got a new motor put in my car about a month or two ago... and now, for some reason, my car smells like manure! Like literally, it smells like a farm. I live in the suburbs, and I dont cart around compost... anyone have ANY idea just wtf might be going on here?

could be a sensor not reading right and causing a bad mix? you don't have any check engine lights or anything?

I'll give it a look... that was the only thing I could think of, that there was something nasty someplace in the car, but I havent found anything... I guess it could be up in the exhaust someplace... I'll give it a sniff, see if it is the exhaust... ****ing wierd, right? The car has only been parked at the mechanic and in my garage for the last 6 or 7 months, so... I dunno, wierd.
