Sounds like your catalytic converter is going bad. That would explain the rotten egg smell. It also might be melting inside and clogging your exhaust system, which could cause the stalling out.

If the cats aren't bad, they soon will be if the EFI is dumping excessive amounts of fuel. The car probably has terrible MPG as well. Read any stored codes and let us know what it is. Typical wear items by 200K are ECT sensor and O2 sensors. Likely more parts to replace to get the car running right.
