The problem appears to be solved.

I tested the car today with heater on RECIRC.
Heavy acceleration and higher rpms up and down mountains. No fumes in cab!

BUT . . . placing this car on RECIRC is easier said than done!
I never thought I would have to RTFM just to operate a car heater, but I had to read this one because these crazy heating units have modes upon modes.

On page 4-26 under:
Automatic operation,
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating (automatic),
Year round,
Left dial: Fan on auto. A/C on (yes in the wintertime too apparently).
Right dial: Airflow to foot outlets, or dash outlets, or both (but NOT defrost, NOT foot/defrost).
Middle dial: set desired temp, THEN you can hit RECIRC (without it popping back to outside air).
Holy crap! What are the engineers thinking when they come up with all this %#@&?

Thank you all for your ideas.
Mike
