running really rich


i have a 90 fox with a little bit of things done and wondering why it is running so rich and also why in the morning it pops and backfires through the intake but once warms up runs fine.

do you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator?

What is your setup? I assume it is fuel injected right? You say a few things done to it, what size injectors are you running?

Check codes, maybe time to check the timing and O2 sensors, clean the MAF.
