I've had this same problem twice before. It could possible be either the ecm or the crank angle sensor located under the distributor cap. It is black in color and half moon'sh shape. When they went bad for me it would be very hard to start and would smoke black when I accelerated. It was injecting way too much fuel. The spark plugs will probable be black if you checked them. I actually carry a spare one in my glove box. It is the thing with the 4 wire oval plug.
