e30 wont start

just thought i would drop this out there.

just did timing belt and new injectors on my sons e30.
now it wont start.
i put new plugs in it and after 3-4 attempts pulled them and they are BLACK.
not oil but soot. too rich

the injectors he ordered do not look the same as the old ones. the tips are very different. FCP says they are the correct ones.

it did run before we started. rough, but it ran. the old plugs did not look this bad.
in fact i put them back in originally and they were extremely black, thus why i put new ones in so i could see how rich it was.

oh we put in new gas tank too. now the fuel is clean coming out of fuel rail.

he may have put in a higher flow fuel pump. not sure if pressure is different or if the reg would correct it but this FP was in it when it was running.
