What causes a burning smell from a car engine?
Many things can cause a burning smell under the hood of your car, if the smell is accompanied by smoke you are most likely looking at a fluid leak dripping onto something hot and burning off. If it smells sweet this would be a sign of a coolant leak. A ozone type smell would most likely be caused by a burnt clutch (standard transmission) or brakes hanging up and staying applied. burnt clutch smell would be expected if you have a new driver learning to drive a stick. An exhaust leak would smell, well, quite frankly like exhaust which is a dangerous gas to be inhaling (CO2, CO, etc). either way if your car is smelling funky you should really have a professional auto technician check it out to prevent damage to your health, the environment or future damage to your vehicle.
Does hair stink after you straighten it?
Your hair shouldn't smell after you straighten it. That is if your doing it the right way. But if your not, it causes you rhair to have a funky odor. Like the smell of burning flesh. If it does smell then the heat is up to high and it will cause your hair to smell and sometimes break-off, or have so called split ends.
How did you know a car clutch disc has a problem?
If you own a car with a manual transmission, there can be several warning signs that your clutch is going bad. When the clutch pedal is fully released, the engine should be gear-locked to the tires. This means that the tachometer (the dial usually on the left, listing RPMs) should move proportionally to the speedometer (usually on the right or center, listing MPH or KM/Hr). While driving, try momentarily flooring the accelerator. (Safely, of course!) If the tachometer jumps a lot more than the speedometer, your clutch may be slipping. Take it to a mechanic to be replaced. If you smell a strange smell coming from your car, it could be the clutch material burning. Clutches have a very particular smell, so try to find someone familiar with it to tell you if it's the clutch or something else. Brakes can have similar problems. Burning clutches can be a sign of several issues. If you have an older cable clutch, your cable may need to be tightened. Have a mechanic do this. If you have a newer car with a hydraulic clutch, your lines may need to be bled. Have it evaluated by a mechanic. Don't forget to ensure that you depress the clutch pedal fully. Pressing the pedal only part-way causes the clutch plates to rub, which can wear them out if dome for too long. As a rule of thumb, you are rubbing your plates too much if you start to smell the clutch burning. As with all auto mechanics issues, consulting with a qualified mechanic is key. Do not rely on the internet for proper, accurate diagnosis.

Why would you smell things that are not there like something burning?
Whether it's something burning or any other smell that's not there, it's all in your head, and I mean that literally, I'm not joking.. Only way you can smell is through the olfactory nerve in your nose, which sends that signal to your brain.... Put briefly, you are having simple partial seizures in your temporal lobe..Abnormal electrical discharges in that part of the brain is creating this sensation of smell, but the smell does not exist...Go see a Nuerologist, and get an EEG and you will understand...It can be controlled with Meds..
