Almost all cars with a smell I had was this : The airconditioner is used and when stopping the vehicle the cold air in the AC pipes condenses in the hot engine bay - this causes "mold" in the AC pipes - if the car is started without the AC being on, it then smells like rotten eggs. Products do exist to fix this.
I fully agree on the advice of first trying a cat cleaner. Could solve it and doesnt cost much.

This was great info. Thank you so much. Is the rotten smell a danger? I am now getting a rotten smell when I start up, and sometimes when driving. I had deleted by CAT. CONVERTER 2yrs ago. I open it up and took out the material inside both of them on my suv, the cars run great since and all was ok, until lately now I start getting this smell, and I do have the code ON (P0430 on my fx35) constantly since. Do you or any one out there have any idea, what could be the cause, and should I not drive this vehicle now until it is fixed. I heard that it could cause a fire, also. I am kinda worried now. Thanks again,.

For the lingering odor you could use a ozone machine !
Cataclean cost $30 a can
