Chad; I would suspect the O2 sensor first. A rich running condition will cause the engine to run a tad cool. Does the oil smell of gasoline? How is compression? Notice condition of spark plugs as you remove them. Is one wet with oil? When was the last time you did a tune up i.e. plugs, wires, cap, rotor, filters etc?
