Default Car problems!

Well just put the motor back in the car about 900miles ago...(2weeks) and after driving it from ny-ga i noticed a small oil leak. There was a lot of oil all over the under side of my car. I have found the source of the oil leak and i think i have fixed it....but even b4 i got the chance to fix it the car has been acting up BIG TIME! It does not idle correctly and is missing bad!....
i have checked all my connectors and they are sll still hooked up. I replaced all 8 spark plugs becaue they were all looking like this.

The wideband a/f is showing rich as hell (10 range) just as the spark plugs confirm.

Anyone have anyideas...i have been working on troubleshooting this for a couple weeks no with no progress....

i have access to a scanner and can get any numbers if anyone needs that to help figure out what is going on.

Also my alt is acting up and the factory gauge is showing some major voltage issues but my multimeter shows 14v...but this all happened when the car started acting up, so could it be part of the prob?

Here're some things to think about:
Excessive fuel pressure
Bad O2s
Partially blocked intake
Really bad tune

fuel pressure is MAYBE 2psi over what it was when tuned

still thinking o2's kinda...replaced 1 and still bad

intake is good, i have taken it off and checked the whole track (STS car)

i cant think of any reason why the tune should have changed
