    OK, I have a burnt rubber smell coming from the Vents. This happens when I am sitting idle at night to keep warm. It seems to only come from the Drivers Side Vents. Heater Controls are not working correctly either. I have Dual climate control and the drivers side control hits and misses when trying to get heat.

    Could someone figure out what this issue is or have any ideas of what could be causing this?

    check your belt on the engine. air gets sucked in from the pass side cowl area into the car.

    the driver side problem is the blend door actuator. http://www.grandprixforums.net/showt...door+actuators

    Ok. Will check that as getting the wheel bearing and fuel filter replaced on Mon.

    Well. Took it in and they checked everthing out. Nothing found out of ordinary. Had to replace the MAF and the wheel bearing. Now the smell has disqppeared. Must have been the bearing. Ah well. Leqst the car is working better now.
