Will this cause the engine to run rich?

Not that I have seen.

Have you run the codes with the engine running?

Replaced the purge solenoid, no more code. Adjusted the fuel pressure and seems to be running better. But, when i ran the codes while running, I got both a lean and a rich code!

They were brand new, maybe 200 miles on them. They have been in storage tho as I went thru the resto.

Clear the KAM, run it and recheck the codes.
