The car starts good, no problems running idle, just a terrible smell in the interieur.

Any good idea's?
I have seen a saturated one on a 440 once , the control valve lets the cannister vent into the inlet manifold when idling you can hear it turning on and off , pulsing , the air going through the canister from the tank should evaporate any fuel off if it is working .
