A little help

hey all i have a 95 f150 5.8 automatic 4x4 with 100,800 that i got about 2 weeks ago and i noticed that its running a tad rich and its takes awhile to start up but it runs good but not too good on gas like below average so would i wanna do a tune up cause it looks all stock and has not been replaced? or what also could cause the same symptoms?
Thanks all

If you don't know when the last time a tune up was done, it never hurts to do it yourself so you know.

But before you do, follow the method on this page for pulling trouble codes: Fuel Injection Technical Library » How To Run a Self-Test

If it's too difficult for you, code readers only run about $30-$40 and are worth the investment in my opinion.
