Make sure the hose to the MAP sensor is connected, it will make it run
very rich, also check the O2 sensor, other than that, there isn't much
else to cause this problem. Check the fuel pressure too

I would also look at replacing the O2 sensor.  Mine 96 was doing the same thing, running rich at lower speeds.  A new 02 sensor and all was well.
