Default zetec running rough!!??

I had an oil pressure prob with my 1.8 zetec 130 thats in a mk3 esc. so removed sump+exhaust etc and oil pressure regulator, put it back together and wound it over, sorted gauge went up no probs. but when it started its like its flooding all the time, and plugs and tops of pistons look wet with petrol. Poss faulty lambda? sending wrong signal to ecu??

Maybe lambda sensor could have been disturbed when removing exhaust etc. When you turn the ignition on is everything priming like normal, fuel pump etc?

Did you remove the inlet manifold?
Check your pipe work for leaks.
