This car has been a nightmare ever since I have owned it. I have changed the coil packs, spark plugs, wires, throttle position sensor, Idle air control, egr gasket, map sensor, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator is working. Now the car hesitates and tries to stall when accelerating & blows black smoke. It also has a unexplained misfire? Does anyone know how to fix it?

start by scanning for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge first then check for a vacuum leak and check compression
