Help Needed - Evo 3 running too rich at Idle

:shock: :shock:
I have a problem with my Evo 3, at Idle it runs really rich! Smoke blowing out and have gone through several sets of spark plugs. And it just dies if you don't keep up the revs. But at times other than idle it runs fine. I've checked injectors, Turbos, Timing, Compression tests, fuel pump and all working fine. Anyone has this sort of problem before? Any ideas?
