Stinky heat?
 

Well it's been getting worse and worse, whenever I turn on my heat a gasoline/exhausty smell comes into the car. Whats going on?

Re:Stinky heat?
 

This is probably not it, but I hope you don't have a fuel leak at your fuel filter and it is drawing in fumes or something. Sorry for the stupid idea, but it popped into my head so I'm gonna say it. :P

Re:Stinky heat?
 

actually not that bad of an idea. check your bay for some small leaks

Re:Stinky heat?
 

just don't circulate from the outside :P

Re:Stinky heat?
 

could be an exhaust leak. did you tamper with your emissions? naughty boy.

Re:Stinky heat?
 

your girls vagina is prolly getting warm/wet and letting off a misleading gasoline/exhuast/tuna odor

Re:Stinky heat?
 

I would guess that you have a leak in the engine bay. Same thing happened on my olds. Just had to seal the bitch up and it was cured. I did get a little light headed on long trips though. :P

Re:Stinky heat?
 

Just a guess, maybe you're mis-diagnosing the smell, and you're heater core is leaking?

Re:Stinky heat?
 

Sounds like you have an exhaust leak up front.

a leaking heater core smells like maple syrup

Re:Stinky heat?
 

if the smell is gone with the vent off.
def.ly check ur engine bay.
it happened to my friend, he can smell gas and exhaust with the vent open.
it turns out one of his spark plug is loose, runs fine after tighten down.

and it happened to another friends 300ZX, turns out all 6 injector seal is leaking :-X :-X :-X

No my heater core is fine, I know how that smells. And tastes. Anyways it's cold as a bitch out and I haven't really checked my engine bay yet, hopefully it is something minor like a loose fuel filter connection. I'll check it out within the next year or so and raise this post from the dead with my results then ;D

Re:Stinky heat?
 

stinky heat would be a hell of a porno name.

Re:Stinky heat?
 

when it comes to leaking fuel it's never minor. check your rail, injector seals, filter connection (inlet/outlet). a lot of enginebay fires happen during the winter because of this.

Ugh quit making me worry. I'd rather look into it next year. Maybe I'll do it this weekend. If I never post again yall will know what happened. Kyle you can have the cam outta my car in that case ;)
