(thats actually oil deposits) plugs are cheap, so atleast test with known good plugs,
$1.99 each and thats what smart racers use anyways, known good and available everywhere reliability, no need for silver or platinum or iridium, stick with ngk copper
what color is the smoke? just white? black? or blue? white is coolant, black is unburned fuel , and blue is oil
I had a problem about 12 years ago where i drove my car up on a drive up rack, scraped a little, thought nothing of it, changed my oil. tried to start , no start? after 15 mins of waiting and tryin to start, finally started, misfired like crazy and blue smoke everywhere? I ended up pinching the send and return hard lines under the car from bottoming out on the rack, i verified this by first checking for spark, then , compression, (both normal) and finally fuel... my pressure was pegged and my fuel volume was almost zero . cut the pinched tubes and ran steel braided line from under the car where the lines pinched to the rail.
that was that,
again, verify the problem first, what is causing it? a lack of fuel? no compression? mechanical breakdown? spark timing problem? Cam timing problem? (compression) This must be done first , there is no miracle answer we can type here. Murphy's law. good luck!

I think I may have figured out some of the problem. I took my plugs out and sure enough, they were covered in fuel. I'm going to get a compression tester as soon as possible to test compression and make sure for a fact it isn't oil (bad rings and whatnot).
I dried them off and wiped away all the deposits then put them back in. The car struggled still, to start but it did kick over and idled longer than 2 seconds this time lol but died when I tried to throttle it. Of course all that smoke was back there still.
As for this mass of fuel dump, I'm starting to think I f*cked up big time when half-assing the fuel system. And what I mean is I tried to make it priority to buy all my fuel parts then change them ALL at once for even wear-n-tear purposes. Well I got all and changed all but the filter, pump (was new when I got the car back in 2007), and FPD (Fuel Pressure Damper). I'm starting to think that with the new FPR on the system, the vac pressure kicked up a notch and stressed my FPD till the point the diaphragm inside it gave up, hence the spewing fuel.
But once I change that and the engine is still being flooded what other things could be causing that? My injectors are rebuilt so those (hopefully) shouldn't be the problem.
