I say so because of the black smoke. It might have been blue, and it's worth a look cause it's free! Oil could still get in even with the Hughes plate if something went wrong with the installation.

 

when i replaced the o-rings on the injectors it was blowin blue smoke cuz of the oil on the rings.. but that all burned up now n its only blowin a lil black smoke on start up now

 

ok now im havin more problems.. when im driving any time i let off the gas and start comin to a stop the engine will stall so i have to keep the gas held down a bit so it wont.. itll also stall when i put it in park and let off the gas.. does anyone have any idea whats goin on? thanks

 

IAT or CPS. Or, which would really suck, a bad torque converter.

 

ok ill check em out.. umm whats the CPS? crank/cam position sensor? thanks

 

Cam position sensor.

 

ok thanks ill report what happens

 

No! I was talking about the crank sensor. I recently had the same type of issue with my 2000. The motor was also making this clicking noise when in Park when I first started it up, and would go away when warmed up or if I put it in neutral,drive,reverse. I almost had heart failure thinking the Torque Converter was bad. I decided to swap the crank sensor from my 98 and all symptoms are gone.

 

lol ok ill check the crank sensor.. yeah i dont think its the TC because when im driving it drives great.. its only when i start comin to a stop and when im stopped that it wants to stall.. and sometimes it wont even stall.. its got me real confused lol

 

A bad TC will drive fine, but when you slow down or stop it stalls. Check and/or replace the TPS and IAC. The CPS is hard to diagnose. But it will sometimes throw a code without a CEL, like the precat o2 sensor.
