Running Rich... How to adjust?

My 90 T4R 3VZ-E idles rough, eats a ton of gas, and gives me the impression that it is running rich.

Are there any ways to adjust the fuel/air mixture or something to keep it from running rich?

Pull the ECU codes and measure voltages/resistances at ECU (EFI computer) and compare with FSM (factory service manual):

To pull the ECU codes:

All 1980-1995 and including 1995 EFI equipped vehicle allow you to find engine and related faults by pulling the ECU (computer) codes without the need for a handheld OBDII diagnosis scanner, the sites listed below have the fault codes needed to pull the codes and the instructions on how to do it:

Pulling the ECU (EFI computer) codes is the first thing I do to diagnosis a problem thereafter I reset the ECU to see if the same problems show up and if so I then take voltage measurements at each ECU wire both with the engine running and not and compare with the factory service manual, I also close the ignition switch after a cold engine and also after a warm engine and compare the resistance values with the factory service manual.

This technique will completely isolate your problem without having to do trial and error and it is the technique I use when repairing tv's, vcr's, home/car audio.
