running rich, suggestions?

Ok so past couple of days my car is on and off again with running rich. Backfires loudly and damn near stalls out at idle or 1st gear. Checked my airflow sensor and its good. Do I need a new tune? Started it today and noticed as it was sputtering got some puffs of black exhaust, so I'm gonna leave the car in the garage and just use the bike for now. Anyone able to throw in their 2 cents and help me out? I have the cable for trifecta already so if need be I'll get a tune this week. Thanks for whoever can help.

that sounds like a major issue.

Check all your piping for leaks.

Nope, but I bet if I could they would be horribly off.
