1995 Mazda 323 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Whilst the car is running cold it runs normal, but when engine is warm/hot engine runs rough, seems to be running rich, particularly at low RPM, seems to be ok at high rpm.

Probable causes of an engine running rich are as follows:

2.Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3.Leaking injectors.
