Faulty coolant temp sensor or 02 sensor - off the top of my head.

Check/replace your coolant temp sensor.

this may be a dumb question but what does the coolant temp senser have to do with it pushing to much fuel

The coolant temperature sensor (ECT) tells the ECU whether or not the engine is cold or hot. When the engine is cold, the ECU uses a predetermined air/fuel ratio that is very rich to run the engine. A bad ECT may falsely tell the ECU that the engine is cold all of the time, thereby making the engine run rich all of the time.

Other items to consider:

Is the thermostat stuck open?
Is there an exhaust leak near the O2 sensor?

These issues could also make the engine run rich.
