Thumbs down E150 Starting & Idle problems

I, I'm a new user on the forum and english is not my mother tongue, so excuse my orthograph. I have a E-150 '92 5.0L, i liove in montreal in the cold winter and i left foe florida in mid november, so i parked my truck for 6 weeks and when i got back it was about -10 F, it tooks time to start my truck but it did and a few days later it was raining with a beautiful humid 40 F, that's when the problem starts. Now, to start the truck i have to hit the gas pedal to the floor and once started it runs like sh... , black smoke(too rich) no idle, beetween cold and normal temp it runs fine but once its getting hot it runs on the fast idle approx 2000 rpm, if i hit the gas to the floor the check eng light get on for about 20 sec and get off. I haven't pulled the codes but i already change the oxygen and the temp sensors. Any idea or suggestions?

New plug wires are in order, as a cap and rotor. Water is getting into them not letting the spark get to the cylinders.
