Running rich:

1.Fuel pressure not within specs.Can be cause by restricted fuel return line or defective fuel pressure regulator.
2.Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3.Leaking injectors.
4.Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5.Restricted air intake system.

possible vaccum leak would be my educated guess, it should have thrown a cel for running rich? the ect sensor, o2 sensor, maf sensor are the major sensors that control the a/f ratio
