Tech Question.... Dunno if its wierd or not

The past few night I've heard from quite a few people that my car is kinda spitting flames....... Not like a huge fireball or anything more of a white glow when I am gunning it and let off the gas. Dunno what could be the cause other than running rich as hell. I'm not through any codes so I don't think a plug is fouled out and I'm mis-firing. Any suggestions as to what would cause this?
Thanks

yea i figured that, but why that rich lately? i've gone through 3 gallons of gas in a day baby footin it around. I'm gonna through new plugs and o2's on it this week. Hopefully that'll fix the problem, if not i'll check the injectors to make sure one isn't staying open longer than it should be.
