Since your car stinks that bad... it's probably a good idea to take it to a shop. They will most likely use a professional product to clean the evap box out. They use an aerosol cleaner with a LONG plastic tube to get down into the evap box and they spray this foam product into the box to sanitise it. It will be much better than just using a product like we posted above. I think most shops would only charge an hour's labor rate to do this(at most). Unless they need to take the HVAC system apart - then things can get more expensive.

good luck,
