On the powerchoke and on the crown vic, this is a common problem, caused by leaving the A/C on after shutting down the engine. Running the car on 'vent' instead of A/C for a while blows the smell out, then running the vent for about a minute before shutting the car down seems to keep it that way. Crown Vic dashes are ridiculous to remove, it's almost like they put the dash on the assembly line first, and welded the car around it. > The AC blows very cold but seems to work only on the minimum setting; even > barely turning it back turns the cold air to hot. I know nothing about the early climate control, so I have no idea if that is normal or not. K
