I'd be having a look at the carbon canister and the vent solenoid.
Tanks these days are sealed,any vapour is stored in the carbon canister tank and meant to be vented into the intake given certain conditions,if your solenoid is stuck open it'll stink and screw around with the mixture control,odd idle speeds and emisions.
