Engine Performance problem
1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

hello, i am mechanical at all, this is my first car and i am trying to make it run good again. I just need an answer. so thank you for your time.

I took my car into the shop about a month and a half ago, it was stalling or die when ever I would drive more and 10-15 minutes and would seem to be over heating even though all the fluids were topped up. Now I have taken it into the shop and they said it was a mass air flow problem and fixed that but its still doing it. Also, I have black stuff spewing out of the exhaust now and it's starting to chug! ahh! please help, thanks again in advance.
