Running Way TOO Rich

well i came down from orlando this past week and my car started acting funny..its been running really rich lately the other day when i would floor it would lag then pick up like it was bogging cause too much gas was being sent to the engine, and when i would be at stop lights my AF gauge reads all the way green and car sometimes stalls out....i maybe thinkin i need to clean my fuel injectors or check out my plugs, i also cleaned my air filter...

First, that air/fuel gauge is not very effective at measuring. Our cars do run rich in stock form, so maybe something else is making it worse. What mods do you have? Is the check engine light on? You have an safc I believe, so you should get that tuned if you haven't yet. They can turn down the fuel, but you really need to get it on a dyno to know for sure.
