Question Car Running Rich!

My 87 gt wich is fuel injected seems to be running rich. It has a strong gas odor on the inside and has some gas smoke to it sometimes when you rev it up. Im leaning towards maybe a clogged or bad injector but havnt checked to see yet. Any other ideas what could be causing my car to run rich?
