Have the O2 sensors been checked?
What kind of codes is the computer throwing out?

Two weeks to diagnose the problem? Maybe you need a new mechanic.
The black smoke on my Rodeo was caused by a bad O2 sensor: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=258045 A leaking fuel pressure regulator will make the engine run rich as well. I agree with RF, the codes should tell the story. Post again when the trouble is found. Dale
