More information is needed for us to help. Have you done any modifications to your car lately? You may need a retune if you did.

Have someone read the readings from the o2 sensors. Could be a cat also.

Have you done a boost leak test? if not you should because that could be the reason why your running rich... i had a huge boost leak and i was running super rich. try leaning your MAF sensor too

You have to make sure its an oem sensor not one from pepboys or over the counter or a used one. Also make sure that you check for boostleaks too that will make the car run like crap like Heezayx said. Then once al of that is done give it a tune up and then get it tuned. If you have a check engine light whatever its asking for get it fixed.

Check for boost/vacuum leaks.
