There is a smell in my car, i don't think it's from the engine .. .any of you guys know what is that smell...
my cluthch slipped once recently.... and i just had a oil change 2 days ago
now, everythign seems fine to me, the cluthch is ok ... even when i rev high ...
but that smell just keep coming back, it last about 1 or 2 min while i am normal driving the car... maybe in a 15 min drive. i will get the smell once...

i don't know how to describe that smell .. but it's differnet smell than burning the cluthch .. totally diff.
can any of you give me some suggestion what to do..? what should i check ? should i bring it back to my dealer? will they charge me?

 

How many miles are on your ITR?

Your clutch is probably going.

 

Do you have mods? Shower often?

 

i would say only about 13000 mile.... but my clucth it's fine now....

 

Stock Car!!!

 

Spilled anything on the engine that's burning off?

 

i think i spilled some engine oil when i add some.... but only very little....

 

Congratulations!

You now know what that smell is.

 

really?? how can i be sure? can it be anything else other than that??

 

Where is the smell coming from?

Just start the car and find where the smell is coming from.

 

it's not there when i start my car.. .. everything looks fine.. no smell at all..
only when i run the car for sometime......

 

Next time u get the smell, pull over, pop the hood and stick ur sniffer in that engine bay and see where its coming from.

 

I guess you didn't understand what I meant.

Start your car, pop your hood and wait til you smell the smell.

 

i have done that.. let me go and do it again ..
i am really worry now.....

 

sorry man .. i didn't read carefully.

 

Relax.

It's a smell.

My car smells like a mix of unburnt fuel, burnt rubber, and toxic emissions. And then there's the carbon monoxide that I can't smell...

 

thx man..
i am very poor ..no money to fix...
just don't want anything big happening..

 

spend 8 bucks and get a bottle of simple green and clean the motor. will get rid of any odd smells in the motor bay.

 

how do i clean it?. please tell me in detail ...
