1st car, have no idea what im doing, burning smell help!

[mhhcandy]

so i own a 2010 subaru impreza 2.5 i premium. ive had it a year this october and it was use when i bought it, lately ive noticed a burning rubber smell when im accelerating hard or for a prolonged period of time..i was thinking it had something to do with the pulley by the alternator might be misaligned? bc my serpentine belt is starting to fray, or could it be the ac pulley? bc i cut my ac belt off a few months ago bc someone recomended it to help with the rough ideling i was experiencing at that time and it did help but did that lock the pulley up? this is my first car so please help

Burning rubber smell when accelerating hard? That's you roasting your tires. Also probably should get a completely new serpentine belt and maybe even an ac pulley. Your oil might also be burning or your car could be running rich.
