Can you identify where the smell is coming from?

Could it be something stuck to the exhaust pipe? When I had my 98 I had apparently ran over a milk jug. When I got home something smelled like ****. I checked under my car and saw the remnants of a moo juice container melted to my pipes.

Try a plastic bag melted onto your catalytic converter. Stunk like hell for days.

Sounds like a bad episode of Seinfeld.

You pissed off your mechanic and now you need them.

Anyway, back to the folks that are actually trying to help you!!

Good luck!!

damn! i think i know exactly what you're talking about. i've been having this strange burning smell coming from my car too, at first i thougt it was the belt but the smell didn't seem to be coming from under the hood and the belt didn't have any marks or any signs of stress, so i'm stumped for now
