Ok guys,

I was on the way to work yesterday and i was getting on the highway so i punched it in my auto.... But I keep getting this bad smell coming out the vents if the recycle button is not pressed in...

Anyone know what that can be....

Btw I did a search and came up with no answers....


Thanks,
Rob

that smell also happened to mine,
there was a post a while ago about it, but
i dunno if what *** smell is was answered,
but it happened with others as well....
so dont think your car is all messed up.

It went away with mine.

I had the same weird bad smell syndrome the other day when I was going up a 3 mile hill. It smelled exactly like burning clutch and I actually can hear some clinking/grinding sound when my car was in gear. I turned off the car for a few minutes and turned it back on and it was normal again. Scared the hell out of me.

If you know how to check and adjust your clutch cable, check it out. It might be too tight.

Hmm. Did anyone try looking at your Cat?

Sometimes , well most of the times the smell is generated from a Cat about to go bad, or that is already bad...

Might wanna check that too.

If it smells like rotten eggs, it is more then likely the cat. I cant think of anything else that would produce that smell.
