Started car this morning and the check engine light came on. Took to parts store and hooked it up to the computer and found codes (p2401, p043e, p043f, p2402, p2419) everything I have researched comes back to evap canister failure, and possible wiring failure. More research shows these issues causing people getting stranded and others with no problem other then light, and others with a strong gas smell. If this causes a gas smell, then a potential fire hazard is formed.

Key can be removed while car is out of park. It doesn't even have to be turned all the way off to remove it. It can be removed while in position for the radio playing while not running. Haven't tried this while moving for obvious reasons.
