Car smokes when the heat is on
The other day when i turned my heater on, after sitting for a few minutes to let it warm up smoke began to flood out of the windshield vents. I popped the hood and it wasn't smoking from there, it was only through the air ducts.
When i flipped the air temp to cold, it stopped. Is this a bad heater core?

Burning rubber, or a sickly sweet icky smell ?
If that latter, that's probably coolant from your heater core. It makes that wierd smokey/steamy sickly sweet stuff from the defroster vents. You'll need a new heater core.

Probably is your heater core. .....
Is there a small wet spot on the carpet at the front of the passenger floor below the glovebox?
Also...did you get your clutch slave cylinder straightened out yet?
