So recently i've been having a very strong smell coming from my car. It happens most when my car isn't moving (at a stop light, parked, etc) and its been very annoying. The smells are very strong. I checked for any leaks but there are none at all that I could see and my car hasn't had a history of leaking at all.... And it doesn't release any smoke.
Today while in the drive thru at mcdonalds I noticed that the temp was all the way at H but then when I started driving again the temp went back to normal. I'm very sure that it has to do with the thermostat but my question is, is it related to all of these smells?
I was told that if the thermostat was left open or closed it could make my car inject more gas or something along the lines of that.. I looked around but I decided that the best way to get an answer was to ask.
What I noticed with my temperature is that sometimes it takes forever just to go up to the middle (which is normal temp)
