archemitis Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 put a bag over your disty and alternator and carwash the hell out of the engine bay, top and bottom. if it doesnt start back up, squirt wd 40 in the cap and dry it out. if its just smell your going by that could be it, dry boiled oil heating up on heads, and exhaust. if its antifreeze smell, half of them smell like that anyway=] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 yeah If it smells burny probably something is burning. not a bad Idea to clean and recheck. no blown CV boots spewing grease on exhaust? had that happen, it stunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
