Hi
I would guess you actually have two distinct problems. First you had an an extreme "rich" condition caused by either(in order of likelihood) a bad ECT, faulty FPR, or leaking injector. Secondarily you have had raw fuel "wash" the inside of your cylinder walls of the thin layer of motor oil which imparts much of the needed compression needed to allow proper firing. You can test this theory by leaving the plugs out of the vehicle for a few hours to allow any raw fuel to evap then add a couple squirts of oil directly into each cylinder via the spark plug holes to allow compression to once again occur.
Bear in mind if you havent solved the cause of the rich condition the problem will certainly re-occur.
Good luck
Matt
