Question Issues with cylinder wash down.

Okay, heres whats going on. Car has 46000 original miles on engine and car. Im having issues with the way car runs. First 7 out of 8 spark plugs are fuel soaked, back plug driver side looks new like its not firing, also fuel soaked. EGR valve working. Replaced FPR because fuel pressure too high. Showing 35 to 41 psi now. Timing perfect. Keep getting random codes for 21, 91, 42 and 92. NTK oxygen sensors. My multimeter took a dump so I can't check them for problems. I also had to change oil twice and filter. Had alot of gas in oil. Compression is good on all cylinders. Car does not use coolant, no coolant pushing out when thermostat opens. Running stock injectors, stock maf. When car is hot, its hard to get started. Starts right up when cold. Weird. Usually one o2 sensor goes out not both. Checked ground for o2 sensors. Its clean and grounded good. TP sensor working fine .98, iac working fine. Fuel pump working fine.

Plug wires, plugs, cap and rotor are new. Wires routed correctly. Now I was thinking I have a distributer issue. Makes a whirrling sound off and on. I did the tuneup a month ago. Ran fine, actually run like a scaulded ape lol.

Pull the injectors and lay them on a paper towel and turn the key on and see if they are stuck open.

Its my dizzy and pickup coil. Pulled it while ago and found way too much slack in shaft. Bushings gone. It was making a whirling sound when running. Thought it was egr valve at first. Injectors are fine.
