After putting in my Denso plugs and JR Air Filter, my car started to produce a weird smell from my motor. Almost smelled like old water.... anyone else have this problem?

Ive only driven the car about 45miunutes to an hour with the new plugs... any ideas?


And if anyone cares...... Honda ended up replacing my clutch and flywheel for FREE, and my car is running like a million bucks again.

 

Well I just took it out for a good 45 mile drive, checked smell and it is less faint. I didnt use any new cleaing products, nor does it look like anything got all over it.

 

Hmmm old water?
You mean old wet paper?
Maybe it's the air filter... ?

 

Well I met up with Greg from Ashburn and his car smelled the same as mine.. I Must have been out of it too long

ANyways.. thanks!

 

The smell could have been your new clutch/flywheel setup. You need to break that in too.

 

hmm... you know, that thought never even crossed my mine since I added the plugs and filter after that and was to say the least, a lil' excited

Thanks for the heads up!

 

The "old water smell" description is just what I'd described as the smell I had in my car this past weekend.....and no, it wasn't something I ate!!!

I hadn't used the air conditioner since last year July, and this past weekend was the first time I used it. This funky smell came out of it. I turned it off and just put the top down.

Maybe it was that?


On a side note: I couldn't believe how cold our A/C can run!!!
