First off, let me just say that I've already done a search in this site and seem to be the only FJ owner on the planet with this problem. LOL
Whenever I switch the ventilation controls on to any position which allows the a/c compressor to run, I get a 1-2 minute blast of this disgusting smell. I can't describe it because it's an odor in and unto itself. After a minute or two, the smell dissipates. It seems to be worse when the compressor hasn't kicked in for a day or more.
I suspect that the odor is caused by a chemical reaction on the exterior of the evaporator. Any ideas?
