The problem could be the catalytic converter. Pressure check the exhaust system. Check to see if the engine mixture is running too rich. Don't forget the fuel octane. Use the recommended octane. Nothing less.

It could be time for a new catalytic converter. They last a long time but do fail for a variety of reasons.

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: My 2005 chevy malibus check

its your alternator voltage regular failed and your alternator is isnt being limited to 12 vots and its overpowering your electric system. the smell of rotten eggs is your battery over heating and the acid inside is boiling giving off the sulfur based smell. this is unhealthy for you to breath and is a sure sign that your car needs to be repaired. you need to replace your alterantor and battery immeditly or it coud damage your vehicals computer. The new altenator will have a new regulator in it and you will be good.

My car has a rich gas smell then when it warms up smells like rotten eggs does it have something to do with the cadillac converter?

Maybe.
The rich gas smell is probably due to injector problems. The rotten egg smell is sulphur in the fuel, which reacts to the catalytic converter. The rich smell would need to be fixed first by checking the injectors and the engine computer.

Usually the rotten egg smell is a clogged CAT. Is the engine light on and if so did you retrieve any codes?

My 1993 Chevy Blazer wont start, it turns but it wont turn over and when it stopped it had a rotten egg smell

rotten egg smell is most of the time an O2 sensor.Goto your diagnostic connector and bridge the A and B posts with a paper clip. Turn on your truck to the"run" position.Your service engine soon light will start to blink,first once,pause,then twice.That's a code 12-means your computer is in diagnostic mode and will now give you all trouble codes.Three blinks is three and so forth.Codes are always repeated 3 times and are double digits (12,13,14,ect.).If the service engine soon light stays on and doesn't blink your computer is the problem and will need to be taken to a shop for further diagnosis.
