I recently (a month ago) bought a 98 LTD T4R 4x4 3.4L

Just two days ago I installed a bug shield and uninstalled two Pioneer amps and two Alpine 10" subs. I am now noticing a hot glue smell whenever the engine is running. I cant think of anything that would relate the smell to the work I did but just getting all the info out in the open.

I have looked/smelled around the engine and cant find anything that pops out...it all looks normal.

Any ideas? Im at a loss...(Ive also spent a lot of time searching past threads and couldn't find anything)

Thanks!

Plastic bag or like stuck to the converter or muffler? That gets pretty stinky when things warm up. Sure it's not a sulphur smell?

 

i think its your new subs they smell like that for a few days then it goes away

 

he said he unistalled the subs haha

is there a wire or two burning?

 

ahh now i feel stupid ... reading stuff half asleep dont help

 

Thanks for the replys...

The smell is definately coming from the engine compartment. Not a melting bag or anything. I cant find any wires that are melting either...

Im getting frustrated cause the smell is strong as ever and Im afraid Im damaging something...

Any more ideas?

 

umm could something on the bug shield be touching the hot raditor ??

 

Let the smoke out! Just kidding. But do check to make sure all your fuses are the correct amperage. Give a real good look around stuff that gets hot... around exhaust manifolds, radiator, etc. Good luck and let us know when you find it.

 

Do you have an automatic transmission?
