Check for boost and vacuum leaks.

If you have boost leak, you'll run rich. Check all the hoses make sure there is no leak.

Get a new set of spark plugs and run them couple of weeks then check their condition and color.

If you want to spend little money on your car, it's time to get Boost gauge. It will help a lot if you have boost/vacum leak or not.
