Work done on car now has a skunk smell emitting from the car inside and out what could this be?

Asked by EEMK Nov 01, 2014 at 11:01 AM about the 2001 Toyota Camry CE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just changed timing belt, water pump, and oil gasket. Car was running great, then when I drove it home from work it started to idle rough and stalled out. mechanic told me that the 2001 Camry has to reset the idle when the timing belt is changed and just to run the car a couple times. Went out to car this morning and there is a skunk smell coming from the car. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I have a 2012 Camry SE. It has sat awhile and the battery had died when I tried to start the car. I charged the battery and now rests at 12.5v. Now when I go to start the car there is no power at all to the inside of the car. No gauge lights come on when you turn the key, but the steering wheel can be turned and the car cannot be shifted into neutral. I checked all fuses, including the long ones that house the alternator, all check out fine. I used my dmm and I have power to alternator and starter. Security light is on inside the car. I have tried all three keys I have for the car with no avail. 3 Answers

battery is fully charged now, all connections are tight and clean. (car only has 9950 miles on it). Power to alternator, starter. All fuses good, no power to inside of vehicle and nothing on besides...
