Check plug wires, spark plugs, injectors?

Once you've figured out all the plugs and injectors are firing, take the plugs out, if they're really carbon coated, check the thermaltime and the cold start injector... The computer may be leaving the cold start injector on after it's warmed up leaving WAY too much gas in the motor.
