I think my car is running a bit rich , the exhaust has alot of soot or carbon or whatever and when i start it in the morning there is a really heavy smell of gasoline coming out of the exhaust that only goes away after about 20 minutes of driving ... how do it tune the engine to fix this ?

well, you only need to worry about the upstream sensor. the other is just for emissions. mine was like $50 from denso.com or something. i changed it when i installed the header and wideband, the old sensor had 120K miles on it and was still fine, but i figured since it was cheap i may as well change it.
