Do a visual inspection under your car, there may be a plastic bay stuck somewhere around the exhaust, this happen to me and it was a 33gallon trash bag.

I had a similiar problem with my 02 cept it was a sensor on the left side of the engine on top when your looking at the motor. It blew and burnt some of the insulation on the hood. and when we found it out there was a wad of plastic.
