Unhappy 1988 N/A running rich at idle?

I just bought this 1988 NA convertible with 75,000 miles, and it's running rich at idle. It runs fine, and gets reasonable mileage (18 city, 23 hwy), but at a stop light it fumes you pretty bad with that rich gas smell.

I have the Haynes manual, but it has about 20 different things to check in that throttle body system. I'm clueless about fuel injection. Anybody got some ideas for easy checks to track this down?

Thanks,
E.
