Black smoke means you are running rich. 1st thing to check in the engine coolant temp sensor (in the intake manifold near the tstat housing). If you have a scanner, you should see what temp it is reporting to the ECM.

The exhaust heat riser should be closed when the engine is hot. On my 90, it stopped working a few years ago and I wired it closed since I don't live in a real cold climate.
