My Camaro keeps dying on me and Black Smoke comes out of the exhaust. Could it be a blown head gasket?

Black smoke from exhaust of car comes out while you are driving indicates that the car air fuel/ratio is too rich, when a car air/fuel ratio is too rich, more gas is being burned from a car's engine combustion chambers. Most likely caused by a failed sensor such as oxygen sensor. Has your check engine light came on?
