Car running rich.

My car is running rich what could be causing this? It is all stock. Could dirty air filters make it run rich? I havn't gotten any k&n's yet.

That pretty much only happens on carbureted cars.
Is your coolant temp lower than the normal 190*F?
If so then that will make you run rich.
Have you checked your fuel pressure & leak down?
