check yer o2 sensor and cat, they could be blocked, that would explain the rotten egg smell and power loss

I'm not a 16v expert at all, I've got two 8vs. But it would be my guess that your injectors or cold start enrichment system (or both) are gummed up from car just sitting.
If your getting that much gas, it will ruin the O2 sencer and cat pretty quick so don't run it that way very long or the repair cost will go up in a hurry.
