black smoke! flooding out! help!

last month i noticed by the small amount of black smoke coming out of my exhaust that my car was running a little rich......

well, yesterday i cranked my car and it idled for about 4 minutes then huge amounts of black smoke started coming out and the car began to spit and sputter and went dead....

it would not crank after that..... unless i held it to the floor and it would crank for a second , spit and sputter with black smoke, then go dead.......

does anyone have a clue what this could be? or has had the same problem? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

First guess is a bad fuel pressure regulator. Unhook the vacuum line and see what happens.
