Evaporator coils might be clogged up and need a cleaning or the drain hole needs to be unplugged. Perhaps both.

If it is smoke it will have a burnt wiring smell, steam from a leaking heater core will a sickly sweet smell due to the coolant, unless your only running water as your coolant,(not recommended). So check the A/C drain as Brian suggested, if it is open and operational then you can try bypassing the heater core and see if it stops, if it does then you know the heater core is bad. The only other thing it could be is a freon leak but that will usually drive you out of the vehicle when it happens, and will stop when the freon is fully discharged.

I have an 83 Ford LTD Crown Victoria. The fuel pump stays running when the key is on. Is this normal? The car will not start. There is pressure at the injectors and power at the injectors but no fuel comes out. If I dump gas on the carburetor, it will start but won't stay running. What do I do to fix this? 22 answers
