Engine Mechanical problem
1994 Dodge Intrepid 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

i have an intrepid with the 3.3l engine it won't stay running without some help ,i have to press down on the accelerator to get it to start and i have to feather it until it warms up a little , then i can use the seat and a rod to maintain running at aprox. 2000-2200 rpm while i check things even at that rpm the exhaust is black , i have replaced the idle air solenoid , replaced the upper intake gaskets an cleane the throttle blae and passages also checked vacume lines for leaks and still have the problem . i am thinking that it could be a couple of things 1. map sensor 2. tps 3. oxygen sensors . any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated
thanks sam

Running rich: could be the O2 sensor, Coolant temperature sensor,leaking fuel injectors and pressure regulator-also the TPS and MAP sensors-
