Hi there!
Sounds like it's running too rich. Have you checked the coolant temp sensor?
It's job is to tell the computer when the engine has reached operating temperature. A warm engine requires less fuel to operate, so if that sensor is not working properly, you will have a rich mixture - which wastes alot of fuel.
The coolant temp sensor can be tested with an ohm meter, but as they are usually pretty inexpensive, you may decide to just replace it. It is located in or around your thermostat housing and has a 2 wire plug. A service manual, like a Haynes or Chiltons, will go into more detail about testing and replacement.
