I get this burning smell when i accelerate all the way and it does not smell like gas, i don't know what it is. When i drive normally it's fine. When I stop flooring it, it stops to smell burnt.
There's no engine light or anything either
I went to the dealer and asked around some mechanics and they can't find anything wrong.
Its a 2008 with 133k miles and i just got it.
Any ideas?

 

sulfur smell?

 

As dumb as this sounds, it is normal. I believe the IS350 does the same.

 

It's just the tornado conductor whirring up

 

Could be a clogged cat..

 

LOL, seriously???

 

It had to be done, sorry.

I would say it's normal but since we can't smell through computers no way for us to gauge. All cars "smell" if you beat them up. Just smells like racing (I know that sounds dumb) And the brakes definitely stink after a few hard stops.

 

"Burnt" smell is just half of the story. Smells like burnt what? Burnt plastic? Burnt oil? Burnt rubber? Describe the smell a bit more.

 

Have the dealer check the engine valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals

 

Thanks for your responses. I had a IS 350 before and i had no problems with it when i floor it. And the smell smells like burning oil when i floor it

 

Ive experience the same thing OP, only when flooring it into the triple digits however.. never experienced it
