On my TPI, the injectors were dumping too much gas into the engine causing it to run rich, the biggest cause of this was I didn't have my exhaust sealed up correctly causing the oxygen sensor to "see" a false lean condition. Air was getting in through the doughnut seals and screwing my sensor readings up.
To compensate the injectors would pulse a little longer......because of this the engine ran like crap.
I installed new gaskets and made sure my exhaust was "air tight" and it fixed my problem.
You can get the same problems like this too if you have a vaccum leak around the intake as well.

could be a bad injector if the front injector is the only one dumping to much fuel. However, that is good advice about the exhaust leaking air. My car runs rich and I can not figure out why. Maybe just maybe that is my problem too!.
