rotten egg smell is too rich,it happens when raw gas hits the inside ov the converter.it could be caused by a non firing plug,or a bad /plugged injector that is drizzling alittle extra fuel. a bad injector won't throw a code,other than possibly missfire,but that code does'nt tel you plug coil or injector only that the cylinder didnt fire. there is also a possibility that that smell is from bad oxygen sensor,this will cause it to run full rich so it does'nt scoch a piston.

Well I found the procedure on OBDII.com to clear the P1000 and make the pcm "talk" So I am going to do that tomorrow, I was doing some more research and I think I have come to the conclusion ( I might be wrong so correct me) I think the Bosch Plugs require more voltage or current to spark than the Motorcrafts require, Thus it falls on its face at first due to temporary flooding, Enough voltage goes into the Coil and finally the plug will spark at the correct temp, and thus it goes away at higher RPMS. Or a Coil could be bad thus causing the Truck to "Flood" itself at first.
This is only speculation as that Is all I can really do right now, What do dealerships usually charge to change plugs? Like I stated before I am in a Cast for 3 more weeks and climbing up on my tires would be a NO NO. Thank you all for all of your help and suggestions.

Well I was going through my records to find my Green Sheet for Registration in TEXAS (emissions) I had it done at the Dealership a month ago, I found some weird information.
MIL Cmnd Status: N/A MIL: Engine On-Pass, Engine Off-Pass, Misfire: N/A, Fuel Sys: N/A, Comp Cmpnt: N/A, Catalyst: N/A, Heated Cat: N/A, Evap: N/A, Evap: N/A, 2nd Sys: N/A, Air Cond: N/A, O2 Sens: N/A, O2 Sens Htr: N/A, EGR Sys: N/A, DLC: N/A.
Tech Notes: Down Stream O2 Sens Inop. Fault Codes: N/A, Gas Cap Integrity:PASS
When I had the Green Sheet done I had the predator program in it, could that cause the O2's to not work? I know O2 Sensors do not do anything at WOT anyways but could these be affecting it too? Or should I stick with my theory in my previous post?
