double check your injector clips and make sure they are secure, check the map sensor hose and electrical clip to it, change the fuel filter and spark plugs, check that the leading coil pack is firing the leading plugs and drive the car normally for at least a few hours before trying to give it an enema.
There was something else I noticed when we assembled everything, the coolant temp sensor plug on the waterpump housing was broken, on the harness side. So the plug goes on but it wont stay in place due to the broken clip. No idea if tmenzz fixed that already. I dont know exactly as what the ECU does when it sees this sensor not connected, good chances that it assumes a cold engine and dumps loads of fuel in there, that could explain the rich condition. The dash temp gauge has its own sensor afaik. (A pita of a sensor, ask me how I know )
