3.1 V6 Camaro RS running extremly rich!!!

My 3rd gen has been running rich for a lil while an it has been Getting worse. I have been driving it all winter and it drives really well but richness has been getting worse. I always warm it up an sometimes it stalls an i get the code telling me its running rich!? honestly its in mint condition connectors and wiring. I have replaced injectors some wiring, Tps, Iac, knock sensor, EGR, coolant temp sensor, my ignition coil, distributor and cap, plugs wires, and that air temp senor connected to the air filter cabin i also bought a new premium battery.

I am getting blue spark all of the spark plugs an i am getting 42 for my fuel an it drops down at the proper level i checked my injectors and theyre still looking new! I replaced my spark plugs cause they were pitch black an then when it turns over it runs for a second u can smell a rediculous strong odor of pure fuel coming out the exhaust i also tried advancing the timing but nothing will keep it running long enough cause it continues to go though a set of spark plugs!???

so now my question is what can cause my car to run this rich that it wont run but just crack!!? help please
