problem #1

Civic EX-L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

Here're the conditions when I smell it: - AC is On - I smell it when I press on accelerator and the smell itself lasts for 2,3 seconds and then a nice fresh air comes out and stays normal until the next acceleration.

the car is basically new. When I accelerate I can hear a barely noticeable hissing noise coming from under the hood and after a moment that smell comes off and lasts for 2 or 3 seconds. I do not smell it when I do not hear the noise. I feel like its something with ac system, maybe a valve leaking under pressure or a hole somewhere in the ac evaporator. Took my car to honda service. They did not find anything wrong with the car and could not smell it. asked them to check the ac on any leakages.

Still not sure what i'm inhaling in my car...
