Whenever i get on it, even for short burst of speed i smell something burning. It doesn't smoke or anything it's just the smell. I know it has something to do with the motor because it's only when i get up into the higher rpm's. It doesn't smell like smoke. I just can't describe it.

Maybe oil on the exhaust manifolds.

Personally i think it's something within the motor, rockers or something because it does smell something like metal or something. Like i said whenever i floor it on the highway or where ever before i even come to a stop the smell is there.

I have a powerlog. It's been on there for years. I haven't added anything to the car performance wise in years.

If it is whenever you get on it it is the smell of the fuel and air mixture. I typically smell it when a motor is running at optimal level AFR is right.

Believe me i wish that was the problem, but it's not. I've been driving this car for 11 1/2 years. I'm sure you know when you've been driving something for a long time you KNOW when something's different. This just started about a week or so ago. I'll figure it out eventually...might be a few weeks or months.

Do you still have a cat converter on this car? Could be it slowly plugging up.

Can you post a video of the smell?

And I started laughing pretty uncontrollably thank you.

I was thinking the same thing, but wouldn't a clogged cat slow you down. As far as when i get on it i would be able to tell it's not as fast. Because right now it doesn't feel any different speed wise.

Does it smell like rotten eggs/sulfur?
06-10-2015
No, it sort of smells like metal or steel when it gets really hot but it doesn't smoke. When i eventually figure it out i'll post an update.

well the only think i can say is keep driving it tell what ever is making that smell breaks.

Heat shield fell off? I had one fall off my van and the front header slowly melted my fan. I would think it's gotta be something outside the engine, under the hood. If it was IN the engine, I don't think you would smell it when you were moving. It would come out the tailpipes. Unless you have a breather in the VC.
Anyways, I'd be looking all around the headers for anything out of place/burnt. Or like Bill would say, just turn up the radio and drown out the smell

Sticky pads or ebrake maybe?

Any chance your valvecovers are leaking?
