I was driving my 1992 Toyota Tercel and I smelled burning plastic... I pulled over and popped the hood... the smell appears to be coming from the valve cover. There's some tubes around it but it doesn't look like it's any of them melting. Any ideas?
That sucks...Alternators can be $$$ on those cars!
I once drove a 1991 ford bronco. The alternator caught on fire while I was driving down the road. I had to run over to this house and grab their garden hose to put it out. :)
He said "Are you sure you didn't run over a plastic bag and it's stuck to the muffler or something?"
THEN I REMEMBERED! On the way home from work yesterday I DID! ANd I looked out my rear view and it didn't come out... I was thinking, "Where's that damn bag?"
