If it was an injector stuck open it would be running like crap,and the OP didn't say anything about it running bad just bad odor, which does sound like a cat.

Cats dont just have a bad odor unless they are on their way out, ie becoming clogged. Just my opinion.

My '17 intermittently smells a little like a skunk, and sometimes the propane. I've seen where it seems to be where I buy gas. The BP station downstate appears to be their gas.

I’d say it’s the cats. Rotten egg smell. I get that smell time to time backing up my driveway...through my own exhaust

Seems a bit premature for cat failure. Possible tho.
