Dying Feroza

Man, this car is giving me the @$#@$@#$#@$#'s!
On Christmas day, was driving and when I put the clutch in it just stalled..... Just happened like that!
Now, it idles when started at about 600 (if that) and missing - seems ok under accelleration but if you lift off it misfires and if you lift right off it just stalls completely.....
Checked the plugs - they are all black with carbon (ie, running way rich) - pulled the air filter off was slightly better but not much (I run a pod anyway)!
The fourth plug (one closest to cabin) also has oil on it :(.
Getting a new ignition coil (the current one looks original - 15 years and 208000 KM's old! - resistance is twice what the book says) and oxy sensor (getting a universal - one for Daihatsu quites $178!!!!!).
The lead from the head to the EFI unit weas clogged with oil - cleaned it but hasn't helped.....
Anyone think of anything else? Only got the head redone, shaved, etc, with belts, leads, dizzy cap, timing belt, etx about 5000K's ago!
