running rich

my gauge has been telling me lately that im running very rich.
i used to run stoich all the time, but one day it started to richen.
i removed the AIV awhile back...but i searched and found nothing saying that its the cause of a rich mixture.

anyone got a idea what the problem could be?

do a little research bud, come on
number 1 reason is o2 sensor
clean your mafs & throttle body
seafoam helped me as well.
check plugs & wires.
clogged cat

Thats a start, searxching will find you the rest.

putting that information the first time would have helped us buddy, to know you checked the basics.

clean your mafs and throttle body with carb cleaner?

Lemme research some, i'll get back.

do you have gas smoke, or is it running just a little rich. also how many miles do you get to a tank, i might have the same problem.
