    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?

    is in a certain position,the condesation builds up & the water starts
    to stink.

    Drain hole for the evaporator is likely clogged.

    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.
