Is there some sort of tool that you can use to test the interior of a car for exhaust fumes if the mechanic says it is fixed but you can still occasionally smell some slight fumes?

You can use a carbon monoxide detector if you suspect a dangerous level of exhaust inside your car. They are available at Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon.com, etc.

Backfireing when decelerating?
Fuel still getting into the intake, Usually inhanced by A slight exhaust leak.
Is it true that hybrids do not have car exhaust?
No, they still produce the same pollution and exhaust, just a slight amount less than conventional cars. Except the Nissan Leaf, it is a purely electric car no gas imput or ehaust pipe.
Had exhaust replaced and now theres a knocking sound more so when reversing coming from under car kind of centre Also just before this started happening there was a slight clanging sound?
Take it back immediately to who ever did the exhaust work.
Why does your 1998 Cadillac catera has white smoke coming from hood after you start to drive it?
You have a leaking valve cover gasket. The oil under the cover leaks past the gasket and drips down on your exhaust. It is a $50 part (actually 4 gaskets in the kit) on eBay and a couple hours for a good mechanic to change on this car. It is not a terrible hazard, though might be a slight fire hazard.
What does a burnt popcorn smell from a car mean?
It can be a few things. Have you had a repair done to the engine or the exhaust system lately. If epoxy was used anywhere it can smell. Also raise the hood and look around for something a mouse has dragged into the engine compartment. Can also be a slight oil leak that is burning on the exhaust manifold. Lastly it can be coolant entering the combustion chamber and burning. This is usually caused by a blown head gasket. If you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak this may be the culprit. You need to have this looked into by a professional mechanic. A blown head gasket is serious and will cause severe engine damage.
What is wrong when there is slight steam from the exhaust and a little bit of water drops on the exhaust cant really notice a sweet smell and oil is not milky or frothy is this a blown gasket?
The question could be improved to read: "Why does steam come out of the exhaust when I first start my vehicle?" Answer: condensation. When you shut-off your engine and the the exhaust pipes cool down, water will condense on the interior surfaces of the pipes from the warm air in the exhaust pipes. This water pools there until the engine starts up again. Then, it starts to evaporate and exits the tailpipe as steam. After all the liquid water evaporates and the exhaust pipes get too hot for water to remain on their surfaces, the visible steam will cease to emerge from the tailpipe. So, no; it is most likely not from a blown head gasket or a crack in the engine. If you are not losing coolant then all is well, drive happy
If a wheel brg has a slight tan color with no gaul marks or grooves has it been overheated to much to reuse?
I was always told as a young(er) mechanic, "When in doubt throw it out".
Why eyes burn when air conditioner turned on in 97 town car?
It could be you have a very slight heater core leak, and the leaking coolant is irritating your eyes. It could also be you have an exhaust leak, and the exhaust is the culprit. Can also be a growth of bacteria in the vents. Have your exhaust checked for a leak as this can kill you. Remember carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless, but it will kill.
How many sides does a polygon have if the interior angle is 3580?
If an interior angle is 3580o there is a slight problem: a full turn is 360o and 3580o is more than a full turn.If the sum of the interior angles is 3580o, there would benumber_of_sides = 3580o ÷ 180 + 2= 218/9Another slight problem as the number of sides must be an integer.Thus I am lead to assume the question is:How many sides does a regular polygon have if one interior angle is 358o?But an interior angle of a regular polygon can't be greater than 180o. Another problem.ONE interior angle could be 358o, but then there could be three more angles of 1o, 0.5o and 0.5o; or four more angles of 1o, 1o, 1o, 179o; or five more angles, etc.Only solution possible is that there is no such (regular) polygon, or it is a polygon with an indeterminate number of sides (if one interior angle is 358o).
Is there any way we can get to the Earth's inner core?
There's a slight chance one day we can, but that won't happen until our technology advances and we understand Earth's interior more.
Is it normal to feel occasional pain on either side of the groin during the second month of pregnancy?
Slight pain occasionally is normal, as long as it isn't sharp, if it persists call the doctor.
