I have a smell coming through the vents, smells like like something burnin. Can't seem to find anything like a wire, fluids,or even a plastic bag. It's not a strong smell that's why I'm thinkin it's electrical. Help me with your wisdom all knowing AF gods... (like that right? :iceslolan

Had the same thing happen. Check your AC compressor. Its most likely seized and what your smelling is the clutch spinning out and cooking. You can tell easily if you see spatter in the compressor area that looks like sprayed rubber.

Thank you for your reply, but mine was really simple. Somehow the plastic bag I was avoiding on the street sent me into some bubble wrap! It coated the pipe from the cat all the way to the muffler. Damn...
