Alright, as the topic says.. sometings gone wrong.. I'll driving.. giving it some (any temperature) from standing still and when I get past 3000rpm it starts to get hard to get any further.. It will slowly do it.. but it feels bad, I still get boost and such.. but once I go through this hard stage, it stinks really bad! a little eggy and a tad of a vegetable mix.. ew. When it first happened I hammered through, doing the ol' "hope it fixes itself" thing, didn't.. Thanks, all help is appreciated.

u mean as u get near 3000rpm its like some ****s got a big rubber band on ur towball and ur car feels like its loading right up and about to seize ? could be that u have no coolant.. and ur about to melt metal in ur engine.. or, it could be a convertor problem, or ur driving alog with ur hanbrake on i'd probably go for the water in the cylinder option, no water left, hot engine, loading up. bad smell, burning coolant Hot, BANg.

I'd go with the Rubber Band Seriously though, since your getting some sort of odour from your car (Could be Wildlife in your engine bay) I'd be checking your Oil and Coolant, and then have a look at your Transmission. Do you have an Auto or 5 Speed? The idea of holding back at 3000RPM sounds Auto/Torque Converter related... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
