It's definitely running rich at idle. Mine did that when I first bought it, and then I got it tuned and it went away. What mods do you have if any? It shouldn't idle like that.

14.5-14.6 is just about perfect at idle, if your idleing at 12.3-13.5 theres definetely something wrong

Are you running bigger injectors? Do you have a reflash?

Start with the basics. Check your vacuum lines, Plugs, coil, wires. I would start with the vacuum lines first.
