okay..a while ago i was smelling a burning wire smell but i just put new brakes on so i fugured maybe theyre rubbing cuz theyre new and theyre just wearing in so they smell a little..then i noticed smoke rolling out from my middle air vents and around my radio unit..so i took it all apart so i could see the smoke and where its coming from and it didnt smoke after i took it apart so i put it back together....and tonight its really cold and i got in and drove soewhere and at first it warmed up and was blowing warm air like a normal car does when its cold then when i got where i was goin i shut it off and went inside...came back out to sit in my car for a minute and tried using the heater and its blowing like i have the AC on or something and the smoke smell cam back. im thinkning that something with the wires going to the heat??? any suggestions on what i should check?

Sounds like a seek & find deal to me unless someone has had a similar problem.

hmm that's very strange...my first guess is that it could be a clogged heater core. Try reversing the inlet and outlet heater hoses and see if that helps....couldn't hurt anyways.
