sounds like vac. leak.... try getting some carb cleaner spray around all your connections to the intake maifold (injector bosses, TB, IAC, hoses, manifold to head,) if you spray and the engine changes tone everytime you spray you found a leak. also check the hose to the FPR since you mentioned its richer then normal

I am leaning towards a vac leak. Is it a high rpm, low rpm deal?

Maybe you got the choke on? jk Yea sounds like a vacuum leak. Like Hondaruss said check with spraying starting fluid/ carb cleaner.
