car wont idle anymore and runs very rich

Well the problem started probably three weeks ago. It started with my car doing somekind of stuttering thing, after a couple of days that stopped and then I started running really rich and the engine would idle only at 500 rpms and the engine would cut out ocassionally while I was on the road. It only cut out when I let off the gas and hit the clutch. Now my car wont idle at all and if im not hitting the gas the car dies. My car just got new spark plugs, Wiresets, distributor cap, distributor rotor, and an O2 sensor. Im probably gonna have it taken to a shop and let them give me a diagnostic on what it could be, any one have any ideas?
