So yesterday the car was starting just fine until this morning, it seems that im getting to much fuel on the spark plugs, i took them off couple of hours ago and they were really wet with fuel..there is spark i checked that, could it be the fpr or the fuel pump? I have a stock chip, walbro fuel pump and stock fpr. Any ideas guys?

Cam timing? Pull the upper timing cover, set the motor to TDC via the crank pulley, and see if the dots on the cam gears line up with the marks on the rear cover.

could the timing be retarded too much due to knock sensor issues?

could very well be a timing issue as float suggested too.

vac issues?

any run time issues?

could be your FPR failed(common issue w/ walbro+stocker). any gauges to ref what the motor is upto?

Pull the codes while you're at it. If you don't know how, you can DL the FSM in the FAQ.
