Codes are good I suppose. You are obviously running rich. How many miles? O2's maybe?

Could be a bad FPR. Sometimes they'll develope a tiny leak.

Could also be the charcoal cannister or purge line (the latter is known for cracking). You'll get a nice whiff of fuel smell if the system is open.

Good luck.

do a good check for leaks around the FPR and the rail and the lines going down.

get your face down and take note if the smell gets stronger in a certain area...
