After storm yesterday and tryin to get it out of snow,, I noticed it smelling like burnt eggs,, and it stutters at idle like it wants to die.

Never had this issue until yesterday.

Any help before I get it looked would be great.

not sure about the burnt eggs but the idle sounds like coils..

 

[luttersj]

burnt eggs or rotten eggs (sulfur smell)?

if rotten eggs it could be a problem with the exhaust system.

Fried eggs or scrambled eggs?? lol

Maybe the coils got wet or so??

Old rule of thumb back in my days were rotten egg smell was due to clogged Cat Convertor. Not sure if this still applies however. But it could also explain the engine miss if the exhaust is plugged up.

Yup. Beat me to it.

Sulfur smell comes from raw fuel in the exhaust. Probably a side effect of your misfire. Fix that and the sulfur smell should go away.
