Running rich, can anyone help?

Hey guys, I think I'm running a little rich. Can anyone help in fixing this problem. I know I could do it myself, I just need directions. I really don't feel like forking money out to a dealership. Thanks in advance.

to be quite honest with, i don't know. a friend of mine said the exhaust smelled like my car is running rich. so I guess my question is, How can I find out if my car is running rich, and if it is, how do I remedy it? sorry for the vagueness of the question

You have to explain it up, since there could be several points to check in your car....running rich means that the car fumes are strong in most of the cases, did you tune it up recently?....IAC valve is working good?....please confirm
