If you don't have the tools or the resources to do it at home, I'd highly recommend taking it to a shop that can do it for you.

Headlight motor is dead - replace it.

LOTS of things can cause this.
How do you know it's running rich?
Cause the exhaust stinks? These cars are notorious for smelly exhausts.
Cause you're not getting good gas mileage? There's a bunch things that you can do - O2 sensor, spark plugs, spark plugs wires - basically a tune up.

Start by going throught ALL the info in the "FAQ for FC" stickie.
This is the infamous flooding problem.
If you do a search on "flooding", all sorts of stuff will pop up.
This should also be in the stickie.
