RE: My exhaust smells lilke rotten eggs
That is a classic sign of failing catalytic converter. Have it checked but I believe you would have to replace it.

They are quite expensive so you may want to look for a used cat.
Before spending a hefty price on a new/used cat, inspect the exhaust for leaks, between the exhaust manifold & the cat.
Often, the cat gets damaged by being fed with raw fuel. Some people rev up the engine right before shutting it down (why they do this is beyond my knowledge), which is one of the worst things one can do to the cat.
