Default cause of running rich

what all can cause a motor to run rich,i bought new plugs,o2 sensor,it has a virgin ecu,no cel's.

im just trying to figure out why my car is smoking grey,the past 3 motors i have put it all smoked grey,not blue,3 different motors,one of which i am positive did not smoke.

could a faulty injector resistor box?having the timing advanced??

any ideas are gretly appreciated thanks

also the car runs good,doesnt back fire or bog or anything
