If you noticed it smells rich and you changed the fuel filter not too long ago are you sure you are not smelling a fuel leak? Mabey you split a line when you changed the filter and it is leaking and sucking air into the system. Check that first. If it looks good there are a number of other things it could be. If you can't find a problem with the fuel lines please give us an update.
