Default Interior smell

When I turn on the heater or just the vents I get a moldy type smell that leaves me congested. I fell like my car is slowly killing me. I have a 1990 non turbo. I just did the head gasket along with all new hoses. I'm not losing coolant any more or overheating but the smell continues. Are there any interior filters I can change or anything in the fan assembly to change. Thanks, Ed.

if anything, you have mold near the evaporator from the condensation runoff. check the carpet under the dash, then think about takin the HVAC system apart to clean it out to get rid of the smell.

Or cover it up, cause that'll be easier.

Possible 2jz lower block swap in the works if I can't rebuild the 1j. So troublesome.

i broke into my buddys car once and put salmon steaks under his seats. in his glove box, under his hood.

watching him come outa the movie theater with his g/f and flip out was excellent. I should post the video If I can dig it out.

Probably a mouse got in there and died. Check that out!

I believe that the company Ozium ( also makes air freshener ) has a product for removing mold out of the vents that you just spray. When I worked at Oreillys 4 months ago they had it hanging on a sidecap near the A/c recharge stuff. Comes in about a 4 oz. spray can, try that and see if it helps...
