Default Car produce rotten eggs smell!! And bogg'n on 2nd GEAR!

okay, here is the scenario. I started my car up. Rev it to 6-7k rpm while in NEUTRAL. The temp is right where the H letter is. Threw it in 1st gear gun it! Vtec engaged fine. Threw it in second gear and felt a lag. Like my car is trying to pull but not having the strength to. after about 5.5 to 5.9 my vtec comes in and its all good again. But before vtec kick in second gear it boggle. AFter that I put my car to a stop with the engine still run'n and smell a rotten smell. Like rotten eggs or some crazy **** like that! The only thing I did to it before i gun it is add some COOLANT into my coolant. Can someone please explain to me what's going on? Has this happen to anyone else? ThankS!

:EDIT: Oh while I was rev'n the car on neutral I notice some liquid was squirting out my exhaust! What the hell can that be?

Set up:

JDM B16A (first gen)
EM1
Intake.
2.5 pipe'n.
Everything else bone stock.

Learn some english, might give you a better response.
Eggs smell can mean that your CAT is burnt up, one of a few things. A clogged CAT will also make your car run like ****, like it's bogging (not "boggling).
Furthermore, why the expletive are you taking your temp all the up to where the H is then slamming it into first?

Okay, smart guy. I was trying to make it short so people won't get bored reading alot of nonsense. Anyways, it has nothing to do with the cat at all. I found the problem and resolved the issue. Thank you for all your replies though. At least you guy attempted to help.

fixing the cat will result in another dead cat.

fix the problem, THEN fix the cat.

Is that what it was? Just tell us already.
