what kind of gas were you using? run 87 octane... and get that seafoam can from autozone for 10 bucks. run it in your gas tank. drive around for 30mins run it good and strong. then take it to the smog

do you have a check engine light on? if you have a diagnostic tool, you might be able to find out the problem from the code.

Are your spark plug wires hooked up correctly? All vacuum lines hooked up right? Find out why your car is running rich first then check O2 voltage if its within specs.
