If you mean it smells like sulfur then you probably have a catalytic converter thats is plugged. Replacing just the cat won't fix the problem though, it went bad because of another problem. You most likely have a rich mixture caused by coolant temp sensor or oxygen sensor dumping too much fuel. Is the check engine light on? Have you checked for stored codes?

You overheated the engine.
Got coolant?
