At temperatures below freezing fuel injectors leak fuel from where the plastic electrical plug and the metal injector body meet. This causes fuel to sit on the intake manifold. A build up of fuel vapor in the engine compartment. And fuel vapors to enter the driver cabin.

I got into my car. Started it. I put my seat belt on and turned on my driver's side seat warmer. I backed out of my driveway and headed to my dr. App. About two blocks from my home i smelled something burning. I started to look around my car while still driving. As i looked left beside my seat i saw smoke coming from between the seat and my back on the left side of the seat. I immediately stopped the car in the road and unbuckled my seat belt. I leaned forward and looked back at my seat where the smoke was coming from. I saw a round hole burned through the grey leather seat with a red glow coming from the hole with a flame. I immediately used my finger to try to snuff out the flame. I then noticed my shirt was also smoking with a hole burned through it. I patted out my shirt and then realized the seat warmer was the problem so i quickly turned it off. I got out of my car to make sure my shirt and seat were not still burning. I was driving on a city street with no turns approximately 2 blocks from my home.
