aight this is the thing, i posted about how my wheel fell off before because i didnt tighten the wheel, everything was straight. nothing really serious. but now when i drive my car after a while, probably like 5 minutes later the smell of burning rubber like either tires or my belts comes around. havent really drove it because of that. any suggestions or any comments? well i tried to check to see where its coming from and it seems that its not coming from the tires but from near the intake manifold or right by the belt. im not sure so anyones comments or suggestions will help. thanks

TQ

Not exactly sure, what about your emg brake being locked up slightly and wearing down. That could cause a rubber smell.

sounds like brakes.

Don't have any idea what it might be, my bro had the same problem with his car for over a month and it turned out to be a plastic bag that got stuck to the cat converter, check for stuff like that

ONe more thing to check........go 25 mph and put the car in 5th gear......then floor it.

Clutch check. Clutches smell bad like brakes too.
