if you're running rich, then you're already getting too much fuel or not enough air/spark......wouldnt hurt to get a gauge and check to see exactly how much you're off, but check for any vacuum hoses that may have come loose......

First thing I'd check is the voltage readout from your Oxygen sensor; the sensor's probably crapped out, leaving the ECU to overcompensate for safety's sake.

The factory manual for a Del Sol Si ought to have a listing for normal voltage output.

If it's off, first try a good fuel injector cleaner. I used "The Outlaw" brand a few weeks ago, as my MPG fell off a bit, and it fixed things right up.

Good Luck.
