1997 S500 Check Engine/ASR light, loss of power, fuel bank 1 and 2

Hey all, I have had the check engine light on for a month or so now, the code was Fuel Bank 1 and Fuel Bank 2. I thought that maybe the fuel injectors were clogged up, so I put a bottle of cleaner in the fuel tank and cleared the code. Came back on after a few days. Still ran fine. Put a few more tanks of gas in, and cleared the code again yesterday. Drove fine for a while, took it to the car wash. Turned off the engine. Started up after the wash, put it in gear and tried to drive off the wheel well and engine died. Check engine light came back on. Kept restarting and trying to drive, kept dying. Then finally it worked and i was able to drive out. Stopped at the store, came back out, started up and started driving home. Then, complete loss of power. ASR light is on. Floored i am going about 5 MPH. Limped home, and have kept trying to start and drive since, nothing. Any ideas? Did water get in to something?

P.S.

Forgot to mention. Exhaust reeks like gas, almost has a blue hue to it. Idle is really rough now.
