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

I found out Monday that it's only running on two cylinders. Fuel pressure is 55 pounds at idle. Map kpa is around 80
