Going to the dealer is out of the question for me right now 
Anyone know if this is a known issue or have experienced this yourself and found out what it was?
The car runs good, and there's no CEL, and the parameters look good. |
Well....I have had ths happen twice...
1) Week before my engine blew up, my guess it was the oil burning up. At the time no one could trace. I could smell it in the passenger compartment and the engine bay.
2) After picking up the rebuilt car, I was driving back to CLT from up north and ran over some plastic grocery bags, one of them got caught in the CAT and kept burning up until this weekend. I think almost all of it is gone. I could smell it in the passenger compartment and the engine bay and this time as soon as I would step out of the car.
If you can smell the burning smell when you step outside of the car, I would check directly underneath the passenger compartment to see if anything is caught underneath.
If you only smell it in the engine bay....well cross your fingers
