the computer does it for you!
over fueling normally the result of sensors not working correctly especially engine temp (blue) sensor and possibly the thermostat not open/or actually closing properly thus your engine runs too cool. or thinks it is running cool thus adjusts fueling to run richer.
only real adjustment is the AFM but that wont be your problem IMO.

Fueling at idle is set by the AFM (Airflow meter) get it checked for CO & HC output.
Once off idle the fueling is controlled by the ECU and can't be adjusted. (Not unless you chip the car...)
Chances are it smells, because it's in the garage. When ever my car is garaged it smells 'fumey' but you never smell it when its outside.
