black/blueish smoke is oil burning can be several things. brake lights notworking could be bad bulbs,fuse,switch or relay which ever you want to call it. forbad idleit could be spark plugs,wires, bad injector, boost leak, vaccume issue and more
 
black smoke is from unburnt fuel. from misfire or a bad/leaky injectors. And since your car died and now it idles like that, it makes PERFECT sense that your rich a/f ratio (causing the black smoke) over enough time has now fouled 1 or more of your spark plugs, in turn giving you a rough idle, kinda like a big cam LOL.

Now the cause of your black smoke issue like i said could be from leaky injectors, or an electrical/sensor fault somewhere making your computer dump fuel. Maybe coolant temp sensor or MAF or something idk. More than likely its a bad injector if there is no CEL.

I would pull your spark plugs and see how bad they are, if 1 or 2 is fouled its more than likely the injectors since the coincide with those plugs, if all your plugs are fouled its unlikely all your injectors would go bad at once so its more than likely an electrical issue and/or computer issue.

this will show you what your plugs should and shouldn't look like

but yea you definitely have an issue and 1st thing is 1st just check your plugs for carbon fouling and get back to us, let us know which ones were fouled or if all are fouled
 
alright ill check out plugs and try injector clean if that does work change wires.........what can cause my car to be running so rich?
 
well i dont have the recirculation tube from my bov back to my intake because the stock hose wouldnt reach could this be causing my car to give more fuel because of the bov being ran almost atmospheric...my punishment racing front mount comes in tues day so i will be able to put that hose back on.

Yes. Your MAS has already accounted for the air that your BOV is venting so it is adding fuel for it but the air isn't there anymore, thus it is running rich.

I would almost guarantee that your brake fluid resevoir is low. Top it off and see if the light goes away.

Also you need will NEED to start doing boost leak tests if you want your car to run right and unlock power that you are losing.

Hope this helps!

yea check the plugs and get back to us, if its 1 or 2 is more than likely bad injector and if all are fouled then you know its something else , and you shouldnt have to change your wires unless its about that time
