You should get the fuel pressure checked and the computer scanned. If running too rich then your fuel pressure may be too high or you have a leaking injector. A computer test will tell you if you have a sensor issue like a bad mass air flow sensor that can cause the excessive fuel injected into the engine and can cause this issue also.
