Default B16 running really rich?

I have already checked the O2 sensors, set the idle the correct way, no vacuum leaks. All 4 plugs are black. Gas mileage sucks, Smells like raw fuel the whole time driving. I really can't figure this out and it is eating at my nerves. Help!!!

are the o2s wired like this?:


Originally the round plug was wired to C16,
If it is hooked to c8,it is wired backwards and will run like crap..

I have the b&m gauge on the fuel filter..

Otherwise,you need an adapter/gauge that bolts into the service bolt.
