How long since you have checked your air filter, plugs, plug wires and coils? Black smoke is unburnt fuel. Sounds like you might have a coil or two going bad. Find out which one/ones are not firing.

Air filter clean and changed plugs and wires 1yrs never changed coil pack its sounds like the cars running out of gas fuel pump running and car has full tank
Black smoke typically means unburnt fuel. Your coils could be arcing out once they get hot. Inspect them for carbon tracking.
When you turn your key to just the on position does the check engine light come on in test mode? If not bulb could be bad. If that the case have the codes read.
