Default Rotten Egg Smell

I have a 850, 1994, 130,000.

When running a lower speeds (not highway from what I can tell), I am getting a rotten egg smell.

Any ideas on what would cause this?

Default Plugged cat

Use a vacume gauge tied into vacume t by the throttle body.

A good engine will be rock solid 16 17 at idle a plugged cat show low vacume due to back pressure.
