i was driving down the road just takin my 7 out for a spin and after going passed one stop sign i smell this horrible clutch burning smell...thought it was another car or something and continued on..abotu 10 min later i go through another stop sign and smell ti again..only this tiem mutch worse..and it last longer..then it kinda switches to smelling like tacos..then all of my idiot lights come on...the car didnt loose any power after that and it shifted fine so i drove it nicely home....i looked it all over and didnt see any thing out of the ordinary.....turned it off and restarted it to see if the idiot lights would turn off..btu they didn't...any ideas?

by the way my 7 is a 90 GTU with a full JDM (i hate saying it cause it makes me sound like a tool) swap...meangin everythign under the hood is out of a 90 TII from japan, including drivetrain and right hand steer

it had also been sittign abotu a week and a half

 

well that porblem happend to me too but not the idoits light turing on. it was my clutch. did u ever change u cluctch on that car??? thats prob ur problem

 

Check your alternator. All the idiot lights will come on if your alternator is malfunctioning. I bet you belt was slipping and burned through.

 

the clutch is brand new..well like 900 miles..ill check that alternator tom.....do i need a code reader to turn the lights off ?

 

Nope, just fix the alternator.

 

sounds like an alternator

i once smelt that burning aroma.....wound up being my belt because i put one too small on there and put it on at an angle......never do this

 

i also have a smaller belt on there because i removed the air pump
