Help..There's a funny smell coming from my car..
A little history first.. I got a 5speedAT ..So I decided to do a little bit of "inspired" driving in Manual mode, I drove it for about 10 mins. .. So when I get home I smell something like burnt plastic or rubber..I didn't think nothing of it..
So today I drive to work normally in auto mode and that smell comes back w/ a faint smell in the interior of the car, also I got my heat on . So I check to see if maybe a plastic bag is stuck to the exhaust pipes..Nothing.. I check to see if the grounding kit wires are touching anywhere.....Nothing... So I sniff around the engine close to the throttle body near the firewall I kinda smell it, but not really.. Has this happened to anyone before??? Also WTF is it??, Im going crazy....
Is it wiring touching some where???
P.S I have 7000 miles on the car
Help please.. Thanks

Mine smells bad too, especially if I manually switch off the A/C. It smells something like moldy bread or athlete's foot. With the A/C on, that smell is barely noticeable. I believe with the A/C off, Nissan engineers programmed the climate control system to pull air down below...near my sweaty feet, then blown right to my face. Great design...now I know when I have to change my socks.

Re: Help..There's a funny smell coming from my car..
To Whom It May Concern,
I purchased a 2004 350Z roadster .I have noticed some toxic smell coming from the vent of the AC.
I took it to the dealer and they haven't been able to find the cause for this smell. They even took the orange seats out to see,
if that was the problem. They checked the engine for any possible leak.
If anybody has a technical information about this problem, please
reply.
Thank you
