Need some help guys, I have searched but have no found any definite answers. Basically whenever I run my heater I get a burning smell coming from the engine bay, smells like burning rubber. I have checked all the belts and nothing seems to be rubbing. Any input or help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys

Damn, same here. Can't figure this out. Anyone got any input to what may be causing this?

I had the same problem when ever I drove the car at highway speeds I would smell burnt rubber. I check my belts and they had cracks on them so I changed them, and the smell went away.

I had the same problem but I noticed mine immediately after I had installed my after market Intake. I have the Takeda Intake system on my 06 Coupe and when I installed it the rubber hose closest to the throttle bodyand connected to the PCV Valve can become kinked. I took it in the dealership and they pinpointed exactly what the problem was. I went to my local NAPA and picked up the same gauge heater hose and installed a longer piece and the smell went away. Hope this helps.
