Probably some sort of malfuction with your EVAP system. check that little black box on the passenger side of your intake manifold and make sure there are two vacuum lines connected to it. One line (top one, IIRC) should go to the throttle body. The bottom should be the 3rd line that comes in with your 2 fuel lines. Also, check out our charcoal canister, and make sure 2 lines are conncected to it (remove the access panel in your drivers side rear wheelwell).

also, it could be bad O2 sensors causing you to run rich. Does your back bumper have any carbon deposits on it?
