fuckin stink commin in my vents - problem found
 

ever sence my car was boosted when i have my vents on fresh air not recirc it smelled like oil and gas, i figured it was just ---- burnin off my turbo or somthin i leaked somewhere in the install, but it never went away. my friend drove my car and said he felt shitty after driving with the heat on and it smelled like the enigne was in the car with me.

anyways we tracked the odor to the breather filter on my valve cover. i figure alot of u use these too so id share. basicly the blower sucks fresh air in right across from it in my car so i relocated the filter (see picture) and the smell no longer comes out the vents. maybe you all already know this..

I had something worst, after I came back from Iraq I picked my car up from storage, it was wet inside, and smell like dead rats, I search through the car and found rat ---- and all kind of ---- food etc. turned out they put the cars outside with the windows open and rats got in and setup shop :-X found 2 dead ones and a lot of ---- and broken wires, I had my wife picked up the car 1 month before I came home, and she signed off on the papers that everything was fine.
so untill today I still have a little smell. I mask it with air freshner. and put it in the paint boot and turn the heat up, so it smell better now.

On a side note, does anyone know how to clean the evaporator core w/o disconnecting it? I'm sure a/c isn't popular on HMT but I needz it! I'm sure i have lots of dirt and leaves clogging up my evaporator and it makes the a/c stink the first 5-10 minutes that it's on.

You must have a lot of pressure in your valve cover. I know on my old accord, that had plenty of blowby, that breather didnt make the inside of the car smell at all.

I used to get headaches if I had to sit in traffic for any amount of time. Which was every weekday last summer.

I was running an open PCV system and no cat. I had a hose from the black breather box to the ground and another from the valve cover nipple to the ground. Plus I don't have AC so I would sit in traffic with the windows down inhaling that ----.

No wonder I had headaches all the damn time. I was breathing in carbon monoxide. lol.

I bought my 240 after it had been stored in a barn on a farm for 4 years. I found 2 mice the first week, a furry but crispy one fell onto the floor while i was doing donuts in a park. THe other was a skeleton I found in the heater ducts. THe last 2 were found when I pulled the dash. I scrubbed everything inside & out with bleach and pressure washed the carpet and seat covers. It's all good now.
