Greetings all. This is my first post here, on behalf of my sister, the owner of a 2002 Merc Cougar. I myself am a Mustang guru so I'm not too up on the workings of a Cougar.
In short, when the car is in park, there is a heavy odor of either burnt oil or rubber coming from the heat/ac registers. The smell is generally only when the car is in park and has been idling for a while. There is no noticeable odor or smoke coming from under the hood so I am a bit stumped. I figured if it were heater core, it would be burning anti-freeze and smoke (as in past heater core incident's ive heard). So I'm a bit stumped and thought I would head over here for some assistance. Thanks for anything you guys have for a suggestion in advance.
