BassBoy69 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 So when I get down driving my car, I get out and I smell the odor of a candle burning, or the wax smell of a candle. It seems to be coming from the motor. I do see any smoke or odd hanging wires.. anyone, lol ? 144+ DB'S OUT OF A CONVERTIBLE 12" Funky Pup Subwoofer (The worlds most powerful subwoofer) 6" Aero Ported Box Hifonics - Bxi2010-D Pioneer Deck RD Audio - Front Speaker Rockford Fosgate - Rear Speakers KnuKonceptz - 0 Gauge Wire KnuKonceptz SS Karma - 10 Gauge Sub Wire KnuKonceptz - Krystal Kable Rca Big 3 - Upgrade - 0 Gauge Kinetik - Hc1800 Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 check around the exhaust manifold for anything that might be too close... im not familiar with the engine on the eclipse but... the postitive wire for the starter on my fathers chevy was too close to the headers and started melting... kinda smelled like that... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/79921-rogers-700-dream-car-update-page-17-a-wall/?p=2335774 93 Saturn SC2My system4 SA-15's Walled 2 Cerwin-Vega S2000's 3 Kinetik Hc2000's Dual 200amp alts. you guys done with the peepee touching contest or do I need to end it?

Ok thanks, well the motor is tight, So I will have to dig around inside the bay to see what it can be, my car lays real low.

Reallunacy Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I hate how they cram everything into an engine bay now. I'm currently doing my "big three" and it is complete hell. Battery is half under headlight and half under air intake, but yeah, take your flashlight and follow the exhaust and see if there is anything touching your cats/exhaust manifold.
