Could be a few things, air filter could be blocked, injectors stuck open to name 2. Personally would start with the air filter

injectors stuck open and blocked air filter would lead to the car running rich as it would be getting 2 much fuel and not enough air but running lean would be the opposite, underfueling so could be number of things, fuel pump on the way out or blocked as with fuel filter, could be tps or map either
