Re: Hot wire smell
You may be smelling the resistor coils burning off energy in the form of heat.

Re: Hot wire smell
That's the problem with the older resistor cars, they burn off energy in the form of heat.

Re: Hot wire smell
I'm in the same boat as you with my '92 DS. Plans are to upgrade using scottyb's Solid State conversion.
