Smells problem
1993 Honda Civic Front Wheel Drive Manual 250000 miles
After car stalled, next had battery jumped to start again.....after driving around, going up a hill....RPMs were revving past 3 being in third gear.
I pulled over to the nearest garage because as I turned left, I smelled a strange, not pleasant scent coming from the car.
The scent didn't smell like an over shifting gear scent or a burnt tire from skidding scent.
What would it be?
Since this incident, I have only driven the car to move to parking spaces in residential areas.
The car starts fine and I'm able to shift into the gears I need to park.
I need to know what that odd scent was and if I need to replace any of these items:
-Timing Belt
-Clutch
-Battery
-Alternator
Please advise as soon as you can.
Thank you!
