Help, Burning smell after 5 minutes of driving C 32
I have an '02 and had to replace the secondary air injection pump and relay. Since that time there is a burning smell after 5 minutes of driving. The smell last about 10-20 seconds. I took it back to the repair shop and they replaced my cabin filters but this is still occuring. If I turn the car off and go to the hood it is coming from the passenger side. They claim there is nothing wrong. Any ideas...... thanks

If so, a common issue with the M112K is oil leaking out and making its way to the exhaust manifolds. It takes a few minutes for the manifolds to heat up and burn off the oil (hence the 5 min delay in noticing the smell).
In the event it is oil related:
Check out this post for a diagram and more info.
