Weird smell
Hey guys, I've been reading through a lot of threads and haven't found anything with my particular problem. I have 1999 with the 3.4 and whenever it gets to operating temperature there is a very strong smell coming from under the hood. It almost smells like lit fireworks. The smell isn't coming from the exhaust. I also checked to see if there was oil leaking from the valve cover gaskets, and there is no leaks. I checked the battery while running and while off and the voltages are good. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks guys.

Question Strong smell at operating temp
I have this issue too! I have an '87 Runner and I have about a 20-ish mile commute. Every time I hit the off ramp and start to slow down I can smell this really strong odor. Mine seems to smell like kerosene.... Been watching fluids and listening for weird stuff but all I got is a smell.
