Odourless toxic fumes in cabin with heating

Does air con gas have an aroma ? R134a hazard sheet is quite a read http://www.harpintl.com/downloads/pd...-r134a-clp.pdf "High exposures may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high atmospheric concentrations may cause anaesthetic effects and asphyxiation."

Pollen filter checked ?

Hopefully not that common but please share whatever gets found, you'd think it would be more of a "thing" on the internet if cars were causing near blackouts and heart palpitations. I suspect with such a small cabin the effects of anything in the air are more noticeable. Did you have the screen demist or air recirculate activated ?

The obvious thing to do is to check for exhaust leaks. CO disperses quickly so your unlikely to measure it after the event in the car and a domestic CO detector won't respond quickly enough.

Pollen filter check and or clean as above ... and then ( as per Dave ) get the AC cleaned out - you can get sprays to do this. You really don't want the bugs and germs that can live in there. As good a place as any to start and you can check the pollen filter yourself.

I wouldnt think the aircon would be working on hot?
If its not CO, which i doubt as you would be ill, it could be CO2.
Maybe your Nitrous is leaking?
Either way i wouldnt be driving that car until sorted

Be interesting to see if Honda find anything. Kudos on introducing a passenger to a suspected potentially lethal dose of fumes, glad it didn't overcome her
I wonder if anything is melting. Maybe some kind of electrical problem or melting plastic/rubber. but you'd probably smell that. hmmm.

hehe, it just sounds like the start of an episode of casualty "hey come and check out this gas leak" *cuts to scene of everyone laying in front of the oven*
Good luck
