Also check your air filter and verify proper heat range spark plugs.

Fuel pressure regulator.
Pull the vac hoses off the FPR & the damper. If you see gas drops replace.

All good possible causes but I would start with vacuum leaks first,afm pipe,warm up regulator/ICV (year dependant) and FPR and damper connections.
If you have any leaks you will most likely have a high idle .
What is your "rich '' condition ?
