I was cleaning out my throttle body the other night and I geuss I gave it too much and it stalled out. I tried to re-start for the longest time and still no go. I finnally tow it to a shop and it turns out my coil crapped out on me. Changed the coil and while driving was getting a hesitation and almost stall at idle. Along with all kinds off black **** out the tailpipe and a check engine light. I decided to pull a plug and holy **** was that sucker black and I just changed them 1 week ago. Changed plugs and runs better and also reset check engine light and went for a good blast. Still getting hints of black smoke though. should I be worried?

Black smoke means your running way too rich.

Is it not loose carbon still coming out?
Black smoke on your plug means you are super rich. What year is it?

Its a 2002. I changed out those plugs and put new ones in and it runs good, but still getting black junk out of the tailpipe, no black smoke any more. Think the coil screwed them up before it died?Was also trying to clean throttle body before it died, did I just get major carbon build up on them?

when you sprayed too much cleaner in there and it died then the cleaner probably just sat there and loosend all the crap in the intake track and when you finally got it started it blew it out the exhaust.
take it through a couple of "1/4" mile passes at full throttle and that should help to blow all that stuff out.
