not necessarily running rich, a misfire will also cause raw fuel from the tailpipe.
more details on teh stalling... will it run if you hold the pedal? does it stall right away? did this start happening all of a sudden or did the problem get worse progressively?
is it hard to start?

From a cold start it runs normal. After warm up the car starts to stall. Restarting I would need to press on the gas pedal to keep it alive. My mechanic said its running too rich.
Sorry for the slow reply, I was working. I hate drive my dad's truck, it feels like my cousin's 2005 accord(sucks).

It's running rich. When actually cold (relative) it can marginally tolerate the rich mixture but as it actually warms up it is too rich to run. Coolant temp. sensor, (connector or harness), or the big one ......MAF.
