I was driving down the street when my vehicle suddenly shut down. When I attemted to start it the car would not turn over but when it did it was missing and blowing black smoke out the tail pipes. Also there was oil in my tail pipes and a very strong gas odor coming from the exhaust pipes.

Lets check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump.

Running rich could mean the pressure regulator ruptured pull the vacuum hose from the regulator you see gas its gone
