I have a 91 grand prix gtp with 320,000 km on it, it has always had a problem where it stalls from time to time but now its getting worse. I have had ALOT of work done to this car and it worked fine before but now its doing this stupid thing. It only really happens when I start it up and I did one day and it had a coolant leak so I filled up the coolant and drove. Well it does this thing where the check engine light comes on. I can drive, but my speedometer stops working, my rpms will not go past 2000 right away even if I put my foot to the floor, and black smoke starts coming out the exhaust. I got the coolant leak fixed by changing my water pump and my map sensor. But it still does it.I settled my rpms a bit by changing the throttle position sensor too but it still does it. If anyone has any ideas on what this could be please help me out.

Have the codes checked for a more detailed and educated response, it could be a number of things, but checking the codes will def be worth the money instead of picking it apart
