Weird smells.
Ok so I was driving home and all of a sudden I smelt what I can only describe as Vicks vapor rub, about 5 minutes later it turns into burning rubber that only lasted for a few moments. I was hoping someone would be able to help me with identifying what in the world just happened because I'm on my last leg with this car and about to take a sledgehammer to it due to piling on issues I've had with it since I got it.

Re: Weird smells.
Possible the odor came from outside the car momentarily?

Re: Weird smells.
A drop of oil hitting a hot exhaust will cause a smell like that....

Re: Weird smells.
Also, just found out I haven't had a injector fuse in my car since God knows when.

Re: Weird smells.
How in the world can a vehicle run without an injector fuse?
Which engine? |

Re: Weird smells.
3.5 unless its an SS, in which case it's a 3.9. Sorry you're unhappy; our 2007 3.5 has been excellent. Previous owner may have been hard on it.

Re: Weird smells.
3.5/3.9 both use inj fuse 5(underhood fuse block) for injectors and fuel fuse 25(rear fuse block) for the pump.....No way can the car run without it....
