Rotten Egg smell

Some times when i turn my car on it smells like rotten egg and blue and sometimes black smoke comes out... what could this mean? dirty fuel injectors?

Sulphur in the gas. Common problem.

If you aren't running cat(s), it is far worse.

The blue smoke on startup is likely oil getting into the combustion chambers via the valve guides. New valve guide seals will fix that up if it bothers you.

Different brand of gas. Some have much higher sulphur content than others.

Are you running a cat(s)?
