The ventilation system in my '95 EX sedan smells terrible. It's not mainly mold, but a combination of smells accumulated in my garage over the Winter (I don't drive it in snow, only when the roads are dry), a burned wiring smell that I suspect is the recirculate flap motor (it works, but I hear static on the radio when I use it) and just stale air. I've tried various treatments to little avail, and will probably try ozone next, if I can find a shop that uses it. But I can't help but notice that, unlike all the other cars I've owned, the fresh (ha!) air intake is located *completely* under the hood, in the engine compartment. Does anyone else with the series Civic (any of the sedans of that era) have a similar problem? If so, have you found a way to solve it? The car gets 40mpg and I don't want to sell it.
