You still have a computer controlled carb, not a stand alone aftermarket? What code number are you getting?

Check codes again. O2 sensor would keep it rich with incorrect reading

If no codes are coming up check the basic stuff again. Choke coming off after warm up? Vac leaks leading to abnormal idle? Engine light on says code,you need to have that rechecked which is free at most parts stores.
