My Car Died!
I dont know what really happened to my car but it just wont start!
Last Week i installed my New Exhaust (T1R70RT) everything went fine, Start Up the car all seems perfect! A couple of WOT's Everything was Perfect!
Next 2 Days it just wont start, Black Smoke with Gas Smell Comming from the Exahust!
I took out my spark plugs they were BLACK as HELL! Bought Some New Ones tried to start the car again, It started but with a nasty bogging and Shuted down by itself, So i took the Spark plugs out again, Black Again, Went out bought some NGK Iridium and i installed them The Same thing All Over!
WTF is Happening?
BTW, My Car is a MY03 Boosted @ 12psi and Only 9k Miles on it, Its not a DAILY DRIVER and i Barely use the car Last year i started the Engine like Twice!
Guys Help Me Out Here, Billman Any Suggestions?
Thanks in Advance!

Sounds like you are way too rich....
(1) What are you using to tune your car -- standalone?
Installing a catback should not have destroyed your tune, so I think the two are unrelated....
(2) Can you confirm you are getting spark?
(3) I don't know your setup, but did you check if you have an intake pipe that came loose?
Good luck...

how do i reset the ECM?
This will not solve your problem though, what are you using for fuel management? You deffinately have a fuel issue.

reset the ecm. sounds like it needs to relearn itself. Hopefully you didn't get a large spike in voltage to fry your ecm.

so your on stock ECU?
if so, check for codes, if not, check for vacuum leaks and map sensor. If your EMS, you'll have to start troubleshooting on your own
Start with vacuum leaks, check that your gettng spark in all 4 cylinders, check all connections on plugs, check your TPS, Check your map sensor, check grounds.
If you still have stock ecu, put that in and see if it runs any better
