Default Odd smell from vents 97SC2

I just noticed yesterday a smell like vinager or photo fixer coming
from the vents when I turn on the fan. This occurs before I switch on
the A/C.
Any ideas?

Mix up a spray bottle with about 3 parts water and one part bleack and
spray it into air intake for ventilation system and this will cure the
smell for a good bit as it will kill the nasties causing the odor.

evaporators are fairly common in some areas.
