My car is running rich, it revs up a little when stopping at lights and idelling seems to run rich, even though it sits at 800 rpm. I can smell the fuel.

I have OBD2 diagnostic software, and have included a few pages of info. any help would be really appreciated.

I would ideally like to know what the average readings should be and then hopefully diagnose the problem. What should the long term fuel trim readings be? etc.

Cheers,

Paul
