Well since this past Monday everytime I drive my car and have the heat/defroster on my car has a "burning" smell that comes from it. The smell has kind of increased over the last few days, but I have had no problems with the engine warming up and producing heat. This morning I drove my car and the same smell occured, but this time my engine didnt warm up at all on my way to work (20+ miles and over a 45 minute drive) I have a 180 thermostat in the car, but even when we had the freezing weather out a while back my car would warm up with no problem. This morning it was like the heat wouldnt even get warm either.
I do not know what the smell is from, but could there be a chance that maybe my thermostat is frozen open? I know that would prevent the car from heating up and thusforth not producing heat. I just dont understand what the smell is from? I changed out all of my radiator fluid in the fall and nothing looks abnormal with that? I think tonight I am going to put in a new stock thermostat and just see if that makes any difference...
Any other suggestions? Maybe I am just looking in the wrong direction? Any suggestions would be helpful...
