odor of burning after hard accelaration
yesterday I floored the throttle coming out of a red light, goind into high revs on 2nd gear (around 6000) and then high again on 3rd gear (5000) before shifting in 5th to cruise.
for a couple of minutes, it smelled like burning (subtle, but it was there), and it wasnt outside the car (I thought maybe another car that would have passed there a couple of minutes ago could be the source of the smell).
after 2-3 minutes, the smell faded away.
I was looking at my dash but fortunately no SES light came on.
Im a little worried, but not enough to avoid flooring it again next time
anybody has any idea about such a smelle in that kind of situation?
