If your car won't start and you smell a rotten egg odor, it likely indicates a problem with the fuel system, particularly the fuel itself. The smell of rotten eggs is often associated with sulfur, which can suggest that the fuel is contaminated or that there’s an issue with the catalytic converter. It's important to avoid attempting to start the vehicle further and have it inspected by a professional to diagnose the underlying issue and prevent potential damage.

catalysts are not fixable... you replace it... but first make sure there is no more simple (and cheaper) solution... if your car stinks i would check the O2 sensors, MAF, test for fuel pressure issues (bad fuel pump - you have 2 of them; one goes bad and car smells like rotten eggs) or the fuel-air-ratio in the ECM is right... especially if a new MAF was installed...
