problem: weird smell in the motor

[nsng20]

Hey whats up people
I have a question. I smell this weird smell coming from my motor. So i look in the motor and it smells like something burning rubber. Its the strongest near the stock air box. Does anyone know what it could be? thanks

Is your car standard or auto?

[nsng20]

Its standard.

[BIGbungy]

are you new at driving standard? cause you might have slipped gears and that smell might be your tranny

[nsng20]

No ive been drivin standard now for 2 and half yrs. I think it might be something electrical b/c it seems like its near the wires near the air box too.

[BIGbungy]

that sounds kinda wierd, get that checked out. whats it smell like?

[v_knot]

I do smell something similar too. But don't know if it comes from the guy in front of me or from the airbox.

[BIGbungy]

haha, do you seriously get that smell too?

[nsng20]

It smells like a burning smell. I dont know but im getting it checked soon.

Are you sure it's not your upper lip. :hehehe:
Does it smell like Fromunda Cheese???:apuke:

:hehe: f-bOmb!

if its a burning smell it might be a spark plug, water or coolant might have gotten into one of the cylinder wells, so id check that out. check the wires from the MAF or Temp. Sensor. see if it is burned at the ends. how hard do you push the car?

[nsng20]

I dont push it hard that much maybe once in a while. But thanks guys for your imput. PEace

When im finished with a hard drive my car smells like the engine bays burning too. It smells like burning rubber or something like it. Lolz

theres no way it could be your clutch? you say hard driving? check to see if any of the rubber components, such as hoses or cables are touching the hot spots around the engine, i.e. manifold etc.
