in need of serious help
ok i have a 95 auto sc300 and i was just cruising down the highway and out of no where this car tried to switch into my lane goin super slow so i had to brake really hard... idk how it happened but my shifter went to nuetral by itsself.. i didnt noticed it so i gunned it trying to get by the stupid driver and just redlined since it was in nuetral.. so i put it back to drive.. and drove normally at 60... out of no where the car started bogging when i try to stay at a constant speed... i pulled over and revved it and it was fine but when i give it a constant gas it boggs.. oh and the exhaust is blowin black smoke... i have no cats so the smell is usually bad but this time it was really strong..i eventually made it home and me and my dad started working on it right away and sorry if the pics and vid r blurry all from celly
here is wat we have done so far
checked air flow sensor... it was fine
checked spark plugs.. all was pretty burned so we replace but still have the problem
oh made sure the plugs were dry
found this wire cut it goes to a sensor behind the fan.. we didnt know what sensor it was for but we fixed it and reconnect and didnt do any difference
checked all fuses and all were good
the check engine light wasnt lit but we check the code and it gave me a very weird one... the check engine and the trac light jsut keeps blinking witout stopping (here a vid of it)

I'm no pro, but imho the black smoke can mean rich. But there should be a code when the car runs on rich... I guess the O2 sensors should be able to notice that... if it is possible check them... it could be that they are not working as they should, and reporting lean mixture to the ECU, which adds some more gas

and yeah i disconnected the battry alrdy and nothing changed... i put everything back together so i guess imma re disassemble it to check y the plug was wet

Most probably O2 sensor issue, esp due to your aftermarket modification, you need to be running sim's or a piggyback having deleted the cats, and removing the post sensors.
