sup bro.. the black smoke is because your car is running too rich. That is also why it is bogging down. Definately because she ripped your AFC out. You need to get that back on there to lean out your a/f mixture. As far as the code. Its referring to your MAF sensor. Check the harness for cracks and frayed wires and also get a haynes manual and a multimeter and go through their procedure to check the maf sensor. Theres no point in getting a new one if its still within range.
