73194, hlep needed...ya i searched. running EXTREMELY rich

as the title says..running way way way way way way rich here's some info

car was turboed for 7 months, turbo kit was removed in early january, car sat from then until 4 days ago when i finally collected all the parts...i finally get it started and its got severe misfire...and barely runs...i check the obvious- wires, plugs, o2 sensor is used from a 96 talon, but is new enough that it shouldn't need replaced(and its stuck in there, don't wanna risk stripping threads again) anwyays..after letting it idle to full temp, it doing better, and i can ease the throttle up to 6000rpms with zero misfire..but the instant i hit it fast or try to go WOT it misfires/hesistates/backfires...so i pull the plugs and all 4 have wet raw gas on them..so its obviously running EXTREMELY rich...now besides the obvious causes- o2, IAC, coolant temp sensor...could the high pressure from the walbro 255 and vortec FMU have caused the FPR to die or what else could be the issue?...oh and points to whoever helps me figure this bitch out.

bwahahaaa :owned

Like i said..i really think the fpr is screwed..the extra pressure held up ok with the turbo pump, but once you had less pressure it just cant hold it at a constant.
