I get a very strong burning smell after driving with the heater on for more than about 20 min. I had all belts/hoses inspected and nothing was found. I know nothing about Hondas or much about cars at all. I popped the hood and looked around, and could smell it, but didnt see anything. Its a 99 Accord with 62k on it, and it does not leak/use oil and no fluids are low. Any ideas?

 

Update: So I just went out and looked again. Didnt see anything but did notice that the coolant is getting low. Its almost to the MIN line so I am off to the gas station to get some. Is this causing the issue?

 

What kind of burning smell?, coolant, oil, plastic???? I've had a burning smell, only to find a wallmart trashbag stuck/melted to the exhaust.

 

Your coolant should be at the min line when cold and at the max line when hot (i.e. your rad hoses are both hot).

 

Hard to say what the smell is really. Not gas. Took the car out about 300 miles round trip doing 80-90mph the whole time. Turned the heat on and I dont smell it now, until I get out of the car. I will just have to see if my wife complains about it any more.
