88 9000s runs rich then stalls, at end of my wits here!

I recently replced my bosch fuel pump that failed with a walbro pump from an 89 99kt, it required some retrofitting for the return line, but it worked fine for a few days. While trying to find an oil leak, I degreased my engine and washed it off, trying to avoid any electrical components when rinsing, but something went wrong....
When trying to start the car, it took a minute to crank, then started but ran very rough and stalls when you give it gas. I have pulled the codes on this car...and the only codes I get read that the car has an incorrect air/fuel mixture while driving, and that the car runs too rich.
I have replaced the Air mass meter, the AIC valve, and the fuel pressure regulator. I dont know what else could be the issue. I've read all the posts on this type of problem and still can get the car to run. It will start, rev up to 2 grand or so, then fall below 1000 and eventually stall out. it feels relly rough like its not firing on all cylinders but the plugs only have about 10,000 miles on them, and I dont know how that would make the car throw a "fuel too rich" code, or why it would stall. I am about at the end of my wits here and would appreciate any help before I have this girl towed to my mechanic.
thanks,
-goz
