I hope someone can identify this odor.
Periodically, while driving my 97 Aero, I get a whiff in the cabin. It smells like fuel, but not exhaust or oil and definitely not gas. It smells fully combusted and sometimes has a slightly waxy odor. It happens during all kinds of driving, including engine braking. Three traits are that a) it is not constant, b) it is not present when idling and c) it appears to emanate from the engine compartment as it is more noticeable when the moonroof is open.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
