Default Dead Prelude Help!

Been having a few issues with my 93 Prelude. It has the f22a1 engine and 4speed automatic tranny. I'm not exactly sure what's wrong, but I have a few suspects. But any outside assistance would be appreciated. It choked and died last night after a 2 hour drive and wouldn's start again. I've been having overheating issues, but those SEEMED to be solved. But anyway, it'll turn over just fine but it can't seem to actually start. I've had it started twice but it was so rough that it still couldn't move. The distributor, cap and rotor are all new as well. I've checked the spark plugs and the two center cylinders seem to be leaking oil as they threads of the plugs were soaked. The two on the outside seem fine.

So, if anyone has any idea what it might be, I'd appreciate the advice.

Was the oil on just the threads, or the end too? It may have been difficult to tell after you pull them because it can run down. There are o rings in the head that may have allowed oil around the upper portion of the sparkplugs, this shouldn't be a problem if its not fouling the plugs. Maybe fuel filter?

Yeah, the ends and the threads were both pretty well soaked. I changed the valve seals when I replaced the valve cover gasket pretty recently.
