I have noticed a burning type smell after I get out of my car. It doesnt seem like its coming from anywhere in the engine bay. I smell it right when I get out of the car then I cant smell it anymore. I think its coming from somewhere from the rear. The car drives fine, no cel or noises. I know im being vague but does anyone have any idea what it can be or what I can check? Thanks.

 

One idea - Look for residual black goop on your exhaust pipe or catalytic converter
(remnants of a plastic shopping bag).

 

did u just change the exhaust? new stainless steel exhausts take a little bit of time for the new burning smell to go away

 

damn those are good suggestions...i was gonna say stop farting in the car, but...

 

stop farting in the car

 

I cant help my farting My mom suggested it might be a shopping bag, Ill check it out tomarrow. No exhaust, Im all stock except for frankencar intake.

 

when you are well-equipped with ricer sty-o air freshener, you can fart all you want in your car

 

I had the same problem about two summers ago. I just couldn't get enough Taco Bell . Just kidding I had a plastic bag stuck to my muffler and it was just melting all the time.

 

hey HappyRice how do you like that super rice airfreshener on top of your dash.. i bought a couple of those w/refill on a mail order and they never charged my card nor sent me my air fresheners.. i think i got the squash scent. i forgot the phone number to call them back and ask what happened.. oh well, now i'm broke so i can't get them yet.

 

Took a look after school today and I can see half of a plastic bag hanging. Thanks everyone.

 

I have that same airfreshener and I absolutely love the smell. it comes in squash, it is the best smelling car scent ever!

 

Some of the bag is still stuck, its hard and stuck to the pipe. Should i just try taking it off when the car is hot? Where can I get those airfreshners?

 

i bought mine at a razo store. you can also find them in those small asian gift store in the asian plaza. ebay probably has them as well...
