Question:
When I turn the heat on in my 1994 Ford Taurus, it smells like waffles or pancakes...very maple syrup-y. Someone told me last year when I mentioned it, that it could be the sign of a major prob, but I dont remem what they said it was. It did it all last winter and is doing it again. It has been running good with no (knock on wood) probs. Is this smell a bad thing? Is this something I should mention to the mechanic?

I was driving the 94 corsica and turned it off 15 minutes later it would not start. What happened?r?
Husband says your heater core is bad. He has been a mechanic for over 30 years. Core part is around $40 he thinks, but labor is expensive as it is hard to install. If it is the heater core, and it is not fixed, it will start leaking water inside your car and blowing steam into your car also.what is the recommended mileage for a timing belt change on a vw polo 1.4 se 'y' reg?

Well i think it is telling you to stop by IHOP for some pancakes or waffles, then that smell wont affect your taste buds afterwards.1998 Ford Taurus won't start. What's the deal?
It may be the sweet smell of anti-freeze, (if it's hazardous I can say every schoolbus I ever drove smells the same way), because you don't use the heat system they dry out and then they leak, you need to watch your collant levels and notice if your car is dripping when parked. Because of the sweet taste of the methyl alcohol animals will lick it up and die of nervous system poisoning.

Anti-freeze has a sweet smell, but I never thought it smelled like waffles...Why is my steering wheel squeaking?
You likely have a small leak in your heater core. Check the carpet in the passenger's foot well. If it is damp or wet, you have a good size leak, and need to replace the heater core. If there is no moisture, only the smell of anti-freeze, you may be able to get by with a bottle of Barr's Leak, added to the radiator. This can be purchased at any autoparts store or WalMart. Follow the directions on the bottle, and in addition, make sure your heater is running full blast the entire time. This should seal any small leak in the heater system.
Butter and a fork breakfast is served! Sorry your heater core is probably starting to leak. Save your money for another car. Heater core replacement is a huge job on your car.
That is because you went to a waffle house and dropped some waffles in the air vent. The only real fix is to sell the car and get a new one. I'd recommend a space ship so that you can excape the planet when the aliens invade.
