Sluggish and Sulfer smell?

[Clumsy me]

Hey guys I am just trying to get some help, my father has a 05 V8 SR5 limited with 150k and he is having some problems with it. The only thing is I am across the country and cant look at the vehicle. My dad tells me the car has a rough idle, a very strong sulfer/ammonia smell when he is accelerating hard, seems like it has no power, and when going around corners it clugs is what he says.


Any ideas?

Thanks

The sulfur smell is a common thing with the rear window down, but it could get stronger with an exhaust leak. The lack of power could be a number of things, try seafoaming the engine next time you need a tune up and oil change. The clug could be the driveshaft clunk, which there is a TSB out for.. You're definitely out of the warranty for it; however, you're able to buy the part and do it yourself pretty cheap.
