Exhaust smell @ idle
So yesterday I am sitting at a light and smell something that is kinda like melted crayons.
It only happens when the car is sitting and idling for a few minutes.
It seems to running fine No noises, No hesitation, Just a burning smell.
Also I noticed in the morning when it was cold. The puffy smoke when it first starts and goes away once the car is warm seemd to linger.
I have a JLT w/ Dougs 91 Torque in it.
Also Flow Master At's. ( 1 which may be leaking at the AB connection) **** thos clamps.

I had a really bad smell similar to what you describe... and it went on for a couple days and I decided I would jack the car up and checkit out....
Well I found the source of the problem and it turned out to be a black plastic bag that I drove over, got stuck on my exhaust just in front of the xpipe and had melted to it.
After a couple weeks the smell went away.
I hate plastic bags.
