Default cosworth running problems

Iv eventually managed to get my cosworth turbo engined capri running after countless problems,but now its running,the plugs get wet and it starts miss fireing badly,sounds like its running on 2 cylinders.After removing the plugs the tops of the pistons are also wet.The engine recently had a rebore and new rings,so not that. someone suggested overfuelling? any ideas?

1) Ensure ignition is OFF.
2) Remove rear of ecu plug cover and insert plug back into ecu.
3) Turn ignition back on (do not start engine)
4) COOLANT TEMP SENSOR: Check resistance pins 29 and 11 for 800 ohms to 5000 ohms (depends on temp). If out of range, inspect wiring or replace sensor.
