ahh crap! dark smoke? thats bad man, real bad. yknow what that means? youre running rich. but seriously, get an adjustable FPR and a gauge. take one or two psi out a day, till it seems to improve. you dont want to go too lean.

I was talkin to a honda tech today and he said that my computer could be stuck in an open loop, now if i understand him right that means its the ecu making it so rich, i also pulled my plugs to see if i had an injector stuck and all plugs are the same black color.. is there a way for me to check to see if my ecu is on an open loop???

OK UPDATE, i had been having some timing issues where i was about a tooth off so i took my pulley and belts and everything off and set the timing perfectly where the cam gear was in the "up" position and the pulley was on the far right white mark... i put everything back together and all it would do is crank over, i checked the plugs and they were covered in gas and black, i went to autozone and got new plugs, put them in and did the same thing, covered plugs in gas, i changed my FPR to another stock one and its still just crankin over and no running, anybody hav any ideas, im getting spark to all of my plugs i checked them manually... am i missing something, all wires are hooked up, if not i need an adjustable FPR.....
