Exclamation 94 IMPORT STI RUNNING RICH!!!

Hey everyone just wondering if you could point us in the right direction. My friend has a 1994 import sti and it seems to be running really rich?? he didn't notice at first but now his fuel/air mixture gauge goes through the roof everytime he accelerates and also it puffs clouds of blue smoke all beit they really smell like fuel and not oil!!

PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks in advance

Steve

the fueling is ot right it need to be checked out and sorted
i would get get the mapped checked out make sure everything is ok
i.e like the air flow meter as if this is broked it would cause it to smoke and run rich
