It sounds like you have a struck injector. How is the engine running? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

I changed the injectors, cam sensor, EGR valve, TP sensor and the computer. But the problem of emitting black smoke is not changing.
