2.8L V6 problems

My father and I have been working on this car for about 2 months now, trying to fix all the problems with it. We have replaced a good deal of parts, and have no idea why the engine is still acting up. Here is the problem.

The engine is running very rich, .... and when you crank it, the plugs get fouled out. It doesn't start.

If you have any idea why it maybe doing this, please reply.
Thanks much,
Ariene

A rich problem has had lots of people confused. allot of them lately have been the fuel canister in the corner of the car. It get fubared and suck fuel form the tank into the ending. Unhook all the lined and plug them off, going to and from that sucker. Try it then.

You will find more in the V6 section.
