I've had my 98 tour for a couple of weeks and can't figure this out(ATX/Zetec). I've changed oil, gone all over, and under, the engine and it's clean and dry! Problem is that at idle when at running temp this burning smell enters the cabin? It's been relatively comfortable here in Arkansas the past couple of weeks so I've just been running the "vent" and it gets bad. As soon as I take off, the smell goes away and don't even smell it while the car is moving( I assume it's blowing off the engine too fast to enter the cabin?). Yesterday, I ran the a/c and didn't notice the smell though?? I've cleaned the engine twice in hopes that maybe it was gunk built up on the back side of the engine burning off or something. I've been checking the oil daily...it's not burning, nor leaking any. All fluids are in great shape??? ...any ideas??
