First thing to do is pull the hose off the presure regulator and see if it revs up.

running rich just means it is dumping too much fuel into the cylinder as opposed to running lean, which is not putting enough fuel in. the first thing i would do is replace your o2 sensor( assuming you have fuel injection)
