What does this trouble code mean?

I got this trouble code with elmScan:
"Fuel trim too rich"
What does that mean and where should I look for a problem?

Thanks.

If you have an Air/Fuel gauge (or a friend with one unplugged) check to see if the gauge is plastered on rich while driving, wanting to go over the limit of the gauge. If so, then I would take it and get it fixed, telling them the car is running WAY too rich. Or also if when you let off the gas the gauge doesnt fly to lean then there is a problem. my a/f gauge goes to zero, blank (led gauge) when i let off the gas while driving.
Ive never heard of that and dont know any codes but reading it, that would make sense. try an a/f gauge. oh just remember the sensor takes 1-2 mins to warm up so let the car sit for a few before going out with the gauge

if you dont have one go to a dealer and quick ask them what it means. Do you notice the car behaving different? like engine running hotter, faster, slower, different noise? just trying to help here,

Thanks for your reply.
No, there's no A/F gauge in my car, and my car is behaving absolutely normal, as it should behave.
As I was thinking, it might be a time to change my air filter. Maybe this might be the problem. The engine doesn't get enough air, because it can not pass freely through the filter.
How do you think, can this be the cause of the problem?
