I had the same problem with a couple of vehicles.
It turned out to be an engine sensor, like a temperature sensor, but this sensor was hooked to the computer instead of the temperature gauge.
The sensors were used on many cars, and in fact, were identical for many vehicles about the time of yours.

That is the source of the black smoke and the engine light being on.
God bless your efforts.
