Default roush runs horrible

i have an 01 roush stage 2 auto with a 4.6. basically i have changed every sensor in the car and nothing has helped. I took it to autozone and they hooked up their OB2 and it found no codes.
First the car runs really rich and you can see the black smoke out the sides. Second it has a hesitation when you give it gas and the idle is not smooth. I was wondering if anybody has had an ecu go bad and had these kind of problems. I have purchased one and have to have ford program the PATS system for it to work. I was thinking maybe the ecu because i bought the car from North carolina and i live in Colorado and thought the owner before me may have put in a custom tune. Any info would be very helpfull.
