FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS I HAVE BEEN SMELLING BURNING PLASTIC (LIKE A PLASTIC BAG) FROM UNDER THE HOOD, I HAVE NOTICED VERY LIGHT STREAM OF SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND TEH ENGINE IN THE TURBO AREA, ANYONE ELSE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS. i HAVE LOOKED AND CAN NOT FIND A THING, CAR RUNS GREAT, I AM HOPING THAT A PIECE OF TRASH MAY HAVE GOTTEN COUGHT ON THE EXHAUST OR CAT DOWNPIPE ADN WAS JUST BURNING OFF, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD ASK IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAS EXPERIENCED THIS.

THANKS

DAN

daniel,

I caught a plastic grocery bag under that area once and had the same result. The odor lasted for a few operating temp drive cycles.

Why are you shouting?

Bryan
