It's what's called "seasoning" of the catalytic converter, basically as it burns in during early use. In a lot of cars, especially in the early days of converters, there was a rotten-egg smell from the exhaust gases. So, in my experience, nothing to worry about.
Boring and reliable works for me and tens of thousands of happy Camry owners obviously concur.
Check the wheel bearings, and also the drive shaft joints for wear.
The light coming on suggests that it is about to stall, so it’s unstable at low speeds. Without having a diagnostic lead to go on you’re best to cover the basics, and replace the plug leads, perhaps the coils, check the PCV valve, and clean the throttle body.
I would persist with cleaning the injectors and have them cleaned, the injector cleaners work best when they’re used regularly, they don’t always work when only used when there’s a problem.
THERE'S no problem running the V6 on LPG. It's a popular conversion. There's an IMPCO kit available that fits well into the car.
