Pull the vacuum line off the fuel regulator and make sure there isn't gas in the hose. You may also have a leaking injector which would cause both an idle issue and a rich condition.

If the car is stock, stick w/ the 19's. Try pulling the plugs to see if it's 1 cylinder or more. Have you checked it for codes? Are you sure there are NO vacuum leaks.
