Is the car stock? if your sure its running rich, it sounds like it could be the choke sticking closed or maybe a sticking float in the carb causing it to dump excessive amounts of fuel into the motor. It could also be some sort of restriction in the exhaust as well. Post a few more details on the car so the fine people here can narrow it down.
