okay so i bought a 1990 protege about 2 weeks ago from a dealer. it has 103k miles on it and in excellent condition. the guy said he had a BRAND new cluth installed, like two days before i bought it. no receipts though, siad it was under the table
anyways i was test driving it and it was perfect. so i bought it, anyways long story short when i am driving around, not necessarily even for a long time, maybe 5 minutes at the shortest interval, when i stop i smell something burning. now i checked all my fluids everything is perfect. but its only when i stop, it kinda smells like burning rubber. now the engine itself is in excellent condition, a few new hoses and a battery. i can tell the guy had washed down the engine bay with something or another, probably pressure washed with some chemicals, when i touch the bay it feels a little greasy. anyways
so the heater itself works great, but for like the first week i had it, it almost seemed as though the vents were actually foggint he windows up. so i talked to my dad and he said maybe its my heater core. but now it seems fine. and as i said there IS a new clutch, i CAN drive a manual, ill be honest, im not the best at it, but i can. so maybe its the clutch or heater core?
HELP!!! I DONT WANNA BREAK DOWN!! anyone got any clues?
