I am a first time poster on this forum and hope someone can help with my question. I have a 2000 Impreza Outback Sport with about 70,000 miles on it. For the past month, there has been a strange burning-type smell coming from the hood after i drive the car and get out. It is not under the hood but just the hood itself where the raised filter-looking thing. The temperature guage is normal. I cannot figure it out. Any ideas?
Check engine light goes off and on but has been doing that for months and the mechanic cannot pull up any history when he links it to the machine. Not sure if this is related.
