engine having trouble running . need help
okay had a few problems with motor last week it was low on oil. it ran fine for a week afte i added enough oil . yesterday while diving the check engine light starts flashing and then the engine just shuts off. no noises or anything . i tried to restart it and had no luck . the car turned over and battery and alternator is good. today i swapped out ecu , distributer ,brand new spark plugs( the old ones looked really bad especially the #3 cylinder plug ) the check engine light is still flashing throwing a multiple random misfires code. after all that i finally got the car to actually start but i had to push on the gas to keep running . if i let the gas go it just dies . the car runs horrible and the crank is just pushing out smoke .when i push the gas black smoke comes out the exhaust.
now my fear is that ive fried a piston ring or something serious that would require and engine build . the car does have a jackson supercharger . and 130k miles on stock motor . it does not have tuning but it is runing with the jackson map control that seemed to be working fine to be . any other suggestions would be awesome . i need to car back on the road its my daily diver .1999 em1 civic si
