Re: 87 1.9l escort blows black smoke out the exhaust
The black smoke is an overly rich mixture. The air cleaner filter could be clogged up. If you have a carburator the choke could need adjusting.

Could be burning oil too... watch to see if your oil level is going down... if so it could be a bad head gasket or even worn rings.
AN easier way to tell is a compression test, but I am assuming you don't have the tools.

Re: 87 1.9l escort blows black smoke out the exhaust
I don't know the specs, but you could do the test and just look for a significant difference between the cylinders. If one or two of them are much lower than the others then you know something is wrong. I am sure a little googling can find you the spoecs though.
