Odd smell in vehicle

Has anyone ever expierenced a smell like PB Blaster or other penetrating fluid in thieer vehicle when the had the code P0446.

I had a can of PB BLaster inside the car but it did not explode or anything like that, but I keep on getting the smell and it seems to have started to smell since I got the P0446 code again. I had the code before and fixed for about 4 months but it did not smell like this.

I have removed anything that I thought could have the smell on it and sprayed free breeze all oover the possible area but keep on getting the odor.

thanks

po446 is an evap canister vent control problem so I'd be definitely starting there. I know that on GMs the vent gets clogged and will thro the code so I'm betting the code and your smell are very related.
