Need Some oppinions

[Mattx2214]

So on monday night i loaded some scrap metal up in my 85 f150 (windsor 351) and on my way home with the scrap my truck wasnt running right it seemed to just not have any power. So i got home and parked it. i figured it was just a bug and yesterday i woke up to take the scrap to the scrap yard and it was doing the same thing. And now theres a nasty odor to it when its parked but the odors even worse when its running. When winter comes i cant be having these problems. So Idk what to do. Any advice or what it could be. I know its not the gas because i put premium in it and it never had a problem before.

So how long's it been since it had a tune up?
And when you did that tune up, what all did you?
And what all did you -not- do?

What kind of odor???? Like eggs...clogged cat. Like gas...jumped time.

depending on the type of exhaust system you have it sounds like the catalayic converter is plugged.this will give off an rotten egg oder..as Ben stated above.it will also bog down the motor. a stuck EGR valve will also reduce power.

I'd say they're right...clogged cat...if it was timing the smell would only be when driving it. the nasty rotten egg smell could still be present for a couple min or so after shut off.
