I noticed when I drive on hot days I smell a burning smell and when I pop the hood and pull the throttle cable you see smoke and smell a burning smell any Ideas? Here's a video

First the rubber edge for the hood should be put back. If the heat of the exhaust burnt it, it will smoke.

For the burning smell, is like oil, gasoline or rubber?

Oil maybe leakage of the hose from the back of the valve cover. Gasoline maybe the exhaust gasket.

I used to have the same problem with smoke in the engine bay, and here was the discussion, not sure if that's your case.

Can hardly see any smoke in that video. Since it's coming from the back of the head, sounds like something liquid is leaking onto the manifold and burning. Check for leaks onto the exhaust.
