Have you checked the fuel pressure? A restricted return line or bad regulator would cause high fuel pressure and more gas being fed into the engine, thus making it run rich. Also if the pressure checks out, check to make sure that either both or one of the two injectors are not leaking. Disconnect the two injectors and get someone to turn the key to the on position. As soon as the pump begins to prime if you see fuel leak past the injectors and into the throttle body, your injectors need attention. Give them a tap with a scredriver end, again if you see fuel, the injectors need attention.

Did you check the fuel pressure?

If the alternator is not charging properly, it can cause erractic engine performance, so if you suspect your alternator is not working properly, get a voltmeter and check the voltage while the engine is idling and while you give it some gas.
