One minute my car is blowing black smoke out the tailpipe, the next minute it won't go like it running out of gas

welcome to the forum, I'd use a gage and check fuel pressure. the pressure regulator shows to be part of the fuel pump assembly in the tank. There is an access panel, you need to remove the rear seat cushion.
