Civic 06 plastic burning smell????

Question

I have 06 civic it has 13,000 miles. Last Sunday I started smelling some plastic burning. I checked everywhere but couldn't figure it out where it comes from. Anyone has the same problem???

Answer 1

Look for a piece of plastic that has gotten caught on the exhaust system. Plastic bags and such trash on the road will hit the hot exhaust system and melt to it.

Answer 2

if u have any custom system in your car you might have wires melting,but if not i would check my battery under the hood ur alternator might be overcharging your battery making battery acid spill out on ur car witch is making the smell come threw your air vents.
