Running rich

Hey guys I changed my spark plugs and put some different spark plug wires on my car (I had some thik red ones on the b18c1 but i put some stock thin ones from a civic) and I also changed my coil and my icm. Now my guage is closer to running rich when i accelerate rather than being in the middle. coud it be because of the wires or spark plugs or coil or icm?

I believe there are 3 of them inside the distributor. They all look the same. They are below the ignitor.
Rectangle things that are slanted at the end with a piece of metal on the end. 1" by 2.5"

All the sensors inside are together. You will have to replace all 3 of them. You can't just replace 1
I'm not sure about the ios code. But I'm sure its dizzy related

alright i guess ill see how much it would be and what would be better to replace the whole distributor or the sensor. um about me runnin rich could it be cuz of the spark plufs cuz i had some really cheap plugs laying around and i put those in and also i took spark plug wires from a 2000 ex i think they are a lil bit thinner then the gsr ones.
