86 astro minivan runs rich and idles rough when stopped at a light but runs fine while driving?
i replaced most sensors, mapp, idle positioning, ECM, IAC. Could it be the fuel metering?

Probable causes of an engine running rich are as follows:

1.Excessive fuel pressure can be cause by restricted fuel return line
2.Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3.Leaking injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
4.Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5.Restricted air intake system.
