Check your catalytic converter. I think it is plugged. It can put off a rotten egg smell.

thanxs, is there anyway to check catalytic coverters myself have no way to get car to a shop?

It is checked by back pressure. If you never did it before, I would recommend a shop. Also, at night time, check to see if the converter is getting red hot. If it is, it is plugged.
