alot of questions about my max (problems)

was driving back from queens and all of a sudden i start hearing crackling sound from my car?
wtf is wrong?
is my cat goin bad?
i also smell some rotten egg smell.
my car seem to have lost some power,
is it normal for my vents to have heat emitting from it even though i have no heats on?
also my rpm dont seem to go above 3k
and i have to punch the gas for it to go over even 2k?

the old rotten smell you are getting is from the use of bad gas or regular low octane gas. You cat converter is giving off this smell. Try using different type of gas and always use 91 or above octane.
