Ok guys. I am 2 freak outs away from parting this thing out. Have any of you had this problem?
Driving around two weeks ago, the car was running perfectly. I went down a steep hill, and about half way down I pushed in the clutch, she dies (Very rare for this to happen). I start her back up and about 4 miles later she is running like crap. After a few more miles I stop at a stop light and white smoke is just rolling out of the exhaust with a major rich fuel odor. It was so rich that after 30 seconds of smelling it you feel like passing out, I mean it is really strong!!
Since then, I checked most all wiring in the engine compartment. I did notice the balancer was shot and thought it was banging into the crank sensor pickup vane (Metal thing behind the balancer) causing maybe a false knock sensor. So, I replaced it with a new Ford balancer/pulley set. Replaced the O2 sensors as per request of my handy dandy manual/code reader.
Start her up, and no dice! She is still running awful with raw fuel pouring out the back. Doh!
I have tried an alternate DIS, Wire Wiggle test, sweet talk, and Code scanning. Only codes I got was that either left or maybe right side O2 sensor reading lean at all times, and replaced O2 sensor as stated above.
Any ideas or anyone that has had similar problems, please help!!! Thanks guys!

OK, so I replaced the f***'n leaking fuel injector and thought since I was in there that I'd save my self the problem of repairing a few things later on and put new Fuel Injector O-Rings, Regulator, vac lines with zip ties, heater hoses, etc.
2 Friggin' weeks working/waiting on this pile O' crap and it didn't do a flipping thing! Still raw fuel pouring out the back tailpipes.
Could a bad Throttle Posistion Sensor cause this? What does it do? Any help greatly appreciated.
PS. IT IS NOT THE HEAD GASKETS!
Engine compartment is basically stock except for few Mods: SCP Fresh Air Induction, Magnecor Wires, new plugs, SCP Exhaust System from exhaust manifolds back (LOVE IT!!), 190lb-hr Fuel Pump, new fuel filter, new factory balancer, new O2 sensors, new DIS, new Coil Pack, and misc hoses, belts, and lots of Simple Green!
