if you turn your heter on defrost (so it hits the windshield) whenn the car is cold does steam apear in windshield, if so you probably have a leaking heater core. replace that **** now before you have three gallons of coolent on the passenger side floor.

or i am wrong, did somone poo in your trunk?

how does the car smell (seats?) if they smell the same then theres where the heater got the smell. in my camaro it hasnt been smoked in in years. but the seats and carpet smell like it and inturn the heat smells of smoke. my truck wasnt drive much until lately and inside with the heat on i get a new car smell. or he could be right it might be the heater coil...i dunno ive never had one go bad
