Default Running Very Rich

Hi all i have a few questions i hope can get answered.I have a 96 neon 2.0 sohc thats running rich.I have changed the fuel filter,pcv valve,plugs,and went through about 2 o2 sensors the maniflod ones.It will run fine for about a day then the gas milage gets eatin fast and the service light will come back on.when i change the plugs i can tell theres a ton of fuel being pumped there covered.I have gone through 2 02 sensors allready as i have stated.And the oil is very fuel contaminated.any suggestions or advice would be great thanks

Check Engine light?

i had the same problem and did everything you did and it turned out being the coolant temperature sensor ( i have a '96 SOHC also).

Good luck

I'd also inspect the wiring to the O2 sensors.
