Angry yet another problem

Well, here it goes again. Today I'm on my way home from Starbucks. I turn the corner to my street, downshift into second and my car starts acting like it's going to die. It's acting like it's flooded. Then half-way down the street, my SES light starts flashing. Now I'm thinking one of my wires fell off or something along those lines. I get home and check everything, and it's all fine. I check the resistance in my wires and connections. Everything is peachy. Keep in mind, I just replaced the coilpack, plugs, wires, battery, and fuel filter. For a while there, it ran great. Now it's running extremely rough, my Air/Fuel gauge indicates a rich mixture and man does it stink!!! The smell of unburned gas is soooooo strong. Any ideas? I'm taking it to the dealer tomm. to hand it over for the SIXTH!!! time. I'm ready to light this damn car on fire and push it over a cliff. Needless to say, this really puts me in a dilema whether or not I even want to install my supercharger.........

Sounds like a stuck open fuel injector or a fuel pressure regulator gone bad.
