What is your question?
It does not happen all the time but it is frightening when it suddenly does. I must turn off the motor to stop it. It seems to affect my transmission as well at times the motor begins to rap with tinny sound no compression and transmission does not act as though it is engaged does not smoke then. Has started to get worse with lunging as though I am out of fuel or it is out of time. If I had a distributor I would swear the ground wire came off or it jumped time. Help

You are losing fuel....and the black smoke is a telltale sign. 'Running rich' caused by excessive fuel not being ignited due to leaky injectors, plugs, misfire condition, o2 sensor problems, etc. . Remove the oil cap and see if you have a strong odor of gasoline. If so, do not drive till cause is found and repaired or you will get much worse than a 'tinny' sound. When repaired, change oil as well.
