I had to change motors awhile back, as some of you know. and now for some reason it seems to be running richer.. I checked the timming belt, and it is tight. and other idea's before I start to burn money on parts?

thought maybe a tune up, but I am not sure if that would cause it to burn rich or not.. any input?

did you adjust the TPS at all?

I just had to replace my coolant temp sensor. It will tell your car that it's always cold, resulting in a rich condition. That was my case anyway.

fpr? map sensor? o2 sensor? just throwing out some ideas besides the timing.

what makes you think it's running rich? how do the plugs look? is it missing at idle?

it is missin a little.. and when you get to about 4000 rpm, you can smell it.. I thought that maybe the FPR was goin out - how can you test the map sensor, and where is it.. if it is the FPR, would it help to take that one off and get an aftermarket one..?

maybe advance the timing a little bit?

I am not sure that will help, I think it is already advanced.. But I guess I should check the timing first
