Default Eletrical burn type smell coming from the engine

Guys I took La Puta(350z) out for a drive to Lowe’s and I started to smell something funny from the engine, kind of like an electrical burn.
I got home, popped the hood but could not find anything out of the ordinary going on besides the smell which is seems to be coming from the intake area.

Any idea's guys?

it gets so cold up here in montreal that its not uncommon to hear stories where people get up in the morning (minus 30 degrees Celcius), go to their car and have engine trouble....open their hood and find dead cats under the hood. they seek shelter from the bitter cold and die in the engine bay.. happenned to my friends dads.
