Jethro is correct. Missy, could you give us more information about your car. There is no way to make any recommendations as how to correct the overly rich mixture without more information. Is it a V8 or V6? TPI, TBI or Carb? If TPI, what year? Your engine size, aftermarket parts, last time a tune up was done, plus a ton of other things.

The more information you can provide, the better we can offer possible solutions.
