maybe a leaking injector
or has someone put bigger injectors in it without scaling the ifr table
thats where i would start look at the injectors and see if they are standard if so get them cleaned and go from there
are you shore its actually running rich and not something else

do the simple stuff first
check the plugs, leads, distributor cap/rotor

beyond that, I'd be contacting the previous owner (if possible) and checking what has been done to the engine.
If an aftermarket cam has been fitted, maybe they didn't bother getting a tune done - which is very common, as a proper dyno tune can cost around $1000
Were the injectors larger flow injectors fitted ?

Ask the prev owner as many questions as possible about the mods. Then you have a chance of narrowing down the problem
