did you fill up lately and get some bad gas?
last time fuel filter was changed?
usually the rotten egg smell is the cats going out.

Cats don't ALWAYS glow when going bad, try unbolting the cats from the manifolds and see how it runs, it will be loud as hell but will tell you if the cats are clogging.
