SOURCE: I need a list of the EGR/Trouble codes for a 1994 Ford SHO Taurus
Sounds like the catalytic converter has gone bad. What happens is you car as you drive will lose power, smell like rotten eggs and stall out. The reason is, the cat. is plugged up and cannot let the exhaust out of the tail pipe like it should. The exhaust is staying in the engine causing it to stall out and loose pwer.
SOURCE: engine light stays on
That is sulfur smell.
Sulfur smell it is not necessarily indication of problems if not accompained by an eccessive fuel consumption.
See here some additional indications:
Feel, Hear, See, Smell: Smell
My car's exhaust

Your catalytic converter is plugged up,
If you check the exhaust output at the tailpipe you will find it restricted.
Let me know if I can assist further.

SOURCE: strong pungent rotten egg smell while driving ,with car cuttingof
You have an oil leak. Chances are the valve cover is seeping oil onto the exhaust manifold. Also the drip lite on your dash means that you are low in oil. So check the oil , add if needed. The bigger problem is that if the car is high miles. You have worn rings which is presurizing the valve cover which is causing it to seep out. It would also explain the oil indicator lite on the dash. If money is tight you just need to check the oil level once a weak and add. Milk it. Otherwise its and engine overhaul, big money. good luck.
SOURCE: 2003 Ford Taurus cylinder misfire #1 and #5 code
Had a similar issue with a 2003 ford taurus. Error codes of p305 misfire on cylinder 5 and first 1000 rotations. It did not smell like eggs. Rough/vibrating idle and lacking power at times.
Replaced spark plugs and wires. On the mine a 2003, I needed to remove the upper intake manifold, i believe it is called. Note not to pull out tubes on bottom when you life. This was to get at the rear spark plugs. 10mm 8mm 7mm and a flat head screw drive is all it took o and about 4 hours, im no mechanic : P I also used a splash of seafoam on the EGR valve and replaced the seal. I was impatient so i didnt soak it like I had read.
Anyways, turns out one of the spark plug wire boots had burnt. Also, 2 were severely corroded. This seems to be the solution, a basic tune up i guess.
