. What engine size does it have ? 2.8 or 3.5 l Running rich could be caused by a few different thing's from a leaking fuel pressure regulator to leaking fuel injectors ,coolant temp sensor giving false info to the PCM.Try holding the gas pedal to the floor ,this put's the vehicle in to clear flood mode .If the vehicle does start an run after a bit ,it's not the PCM - engine computer . Don't thing PCM - engine computer problem , running rich . Pull the spark plug's out ,are they wet with fuel ? Black - fouled ?

Clear Flood Mode
If the engine floods, clear the engine by pressing the accelerator pedal down to the floor and then crank the engine. When the throttle position (TP) sensor is at wide open throttle (WOT), the control module reduces the fuel injector pulse width in order to increase the air to fuel ratio. The control module holds this injector rate as long as the throttle stays wide open and the engine speed is below a predetermined RPM. If the throttle is not held wide open, the control module returns to the starting mode.

Check PCV valve and be sure it is not stuck open.  Check for vacuum leak at intake manifold.

Check your fuel pressure, and or injectors. You may have too much fuel getting into the engine causing it to burn rich and overheat the converters.

You never replace anything, on a Wishing,Hoping,Pushing,Poking,diagnostic approach

You learn the vehicles Systems,Test,then Replace,if you have a failed component.

Work on the Misfire Issues.
Then you lean O2 Codes will go away.

Not a the plugs.

Think lean---Vacuum leaks,EGR Valve leak,EVAP System leaks,anything with a hose that lets air into the intake system.
Exhaust System leaks,near sensors

I have 2005 chevy colorada with the 2.8 4 cyl it started running bad all of the sudden check engine came on started rough idle. got the codes read got these 0014 cam sensor,0017crank sensor,101 mass air...

My guess is it's a timing chain problem, especially if it has a lot of miles (140K +) That model engine is notorious for bad timing chains.
I have the same engine and basically have had the same problem. Have a friend with one ('07) - same problem.
It's a pretty expensive problem to repair. Labor (by the Flat-Rate manual) is in the 14hr range plus parts. Used engines with low mileage (60K) are rare and around $2K when you find one.

2006 chevy colorado cranks over but wont start

2005 Colorado 4x4 stick shift – I had the same thing happen and it had to do with the passlock system – it will keep your truck from starting for approximately 10 minutes, yes you will have to wait and let it sit- if you try to start it will just turn over forever. On my truck the solution was to change my starting procedure, I now keep the truck in neutral-turn the key all the way for a few seconds and then push in the clutch- it starts every time. If you have an automatic I don’t know..
