Is it bad to run the car with A/C on and temperature on 85? Because sometimes in the winter, I turn on the climate control and the A/C always turns on when i want to heat the car and the temperature is on 85. Having the A/C run during the winter time is bad right?

Not sure if this would help but I had this prob. before in my old 94 Accord. Get the car checked at the garage and the A/C part (not exactly sure what's it called) was loaded with rat poo, dead bugs & dead cockroaches... The shope clean them out and the smell was gone.. things like this can get in the car when you left the car parked at night..

Okay I changed the cabin filter, but there is still a faint smell that comes out. It def got a lot better. But i guess im very nit picky and would like it not to stink as well.
anything else i can change or do?

nyczdave. try a fabric softener dryer sheet on top of your cabin filter. or a glade plug ins refill wedged in the filter. have you tried spraying lysol into the air intake and exhaust ducts? the can says it kills 99.99% of germs, bacteria, and mildew if im not mistaken.
