There is an air/fuel adjustment on the passenger side strut tower. There are the letters "R' and "L" on each side. If you turn the screw counter clockwise you will lean out the mixture and clockwise is to richen it. Unless someone has messed with this screw/adjustment, I doubt that this is your problem. If the car is running fairly well but is just running a bit rich, I would look into checking the water temp sensor to see if it is bad. Give me some more info as to how the car is running, and I can help you more. How does it idle? How is the throttle response/acceleration?

Yes, check the coolant temp sensor. If the car thinks that it is always cold, then it will always run rich and get terrible mileage. This is not the same sensor that the temp gauge reads from.
Also, take a look at the seal around the tail lights. This is a common issue and will cause fumes to be sucked into the cabin. Good luck...
