Default Procharger installed, Car runs bad-HELP?

i finally got the car to start but its dumping loads of black smoke out the back of the car and it sounds like it has cams in it. it sorta lopes and slowly starts to sputter out but doesnt quite die, just sounds like its going to. i rev the engine just a little to see if giving it some gas will help and it makes it do the kindaloping thingeven more. does it have something to do with the 42# injectors? should i reinstall the old ones for now? i also changed the sparke plugs to non platinum ones. i had no problem getting them in and all the hot wires are on tight. this mabe? someone please tell me what the hell is going on? also what did your car do the first time you turned it one after installing your s/c(procharger mainly, any others ok). oh and i now have a FMU and a 90mm MAF. Any of these? HELP?

P1000 means that the OBDII system ready is not complete.

It means that you have disconnected the battery and that the internal monitors have not run yet because you have not completed the required driving cycles.

IOW it's normal...Don't worry about it because it will go away once you get the car running properly and drive it a little.

I know nothing about the Procharger, but did you get a tune with it?
Black smoke means rich exhaust, IOW too much fuel.
You may need to install the tune, or maybe the tune is defective.

Could also be a sticking/defective injector.

You might try putting the stock ones back, and driving the car ever so gently to a Speed Shop to get it looked at.
Assuming the tune is ok, if the stock injectors run fine, you have a bad injector.

if you had a bad injector i dont think it would come out black... if anything, if it was open you would be dumping too much fuel in it and probably hydro lock the motor and it wouldnt even turn over

You need to change your oil ASAP as it is probably loaded with fuel. Washdown on the cylinder walls is bad. Oh yea, get a tune. If that don't fix it you can yell what cylinder it is by pulling the plugs. Then change that injector.

It will blow black on accel, if it is idling blowing black there is more than one. My daughters 86 Buick had an injector stay open. That was the first time I delt with that. Seems lately I help friends out with similar troubles.
