HELP!! Car won't start after runnin perfectly...

93 rx7 RHD tt, downpipe, mid pipe, greddy intercooler, intake, fc commander, apexi cat bak, 9's all around, fc thermo switch, greddy elbow, y pipe...

ok, so I brought my car into work last night was running fine, started it last night to move it let it warm up and when it hit 61c instead of dropping to a lower idle like it always does it just kinda went up a bit then down, i parked it for the night.

In the morning I started it and it was idling very wierd very bumpy and rough, so i shut it off, I checked the oil and was a lil low so i added some. I tried to start it and it wouldn't start...

I went home and came back 2 hours later pulled the egi fuse (cause i thought maybe it was flooded) cranked it put the fuse back in it started but really ruff idle very low as well, it ran for about 2 mins then died... I tried to start it again and no luck.... also when it was running it was runnin realllyyy rich like more than usual and a fair bit of smoke smelled like fuel......it ususaly smokes cause my turbo is leaking, but this was a lil bit more and smelled like fuel a lot.

I just recently changed all my plugs to all 9's but that was like a month ago and was runnin fine since then, also changed to fc thermo switch and new rad...but like I said was running fine. PLZ HELP

When the MAF in my old saab died, it never gave me a code, just started running horribly horribly rich.

I'm thinking MAF or a stuck injector. Pull both leading plugs and they should both be equally colored, if they're not, stuck injector... if they are it could be a bunch of things from the MAF, to the ECU to the coolant temp sender...
