whenever i turn on the ac in my 97 gt i smell a weird burning smell
it smells kinda like it has before when the water pump broke and the serpentine belt had to be replaced but i have checked that out already belt is fine
anybody know what could be causing this?

Could be just residual odor in your ductwork from some coolant vapor having been sucked into your cowl vents back when your water pump died.

The air conditioner can cause condensation in the ducting on humid days. Dust collects in the moisture and around your heat exchanger coils too because they may ice up when it is humid, and this will hold odors for years.

That being said, if you don't smell the odor when you have it set on recirculated air, then check your cooling system again.

water pump was over a year ago so i doubt the smell is from that
also just moved to kentucky from hawaii(way more humid there) so i doubt its the humidity
the odor is present on all a/c settings any other suggestions

Hey, wait. I didn't get to the part about, "Can you see smoke?"

Well, glad you found it, anyway.
