    Last night my grand prix just stopped as I came to a stop sign and now I can barely get it to idle if it does my foot needs
    To be on the gas and even then it idles very very rough as it starts
    It puffs out black smoke... Does any one have any idea what could be wrong?
    Could this be a intake problem or a fuel problem....?

    unplug the MAF sensor on the TB, and see if it runs then.
